Gardeners’ World is broadcasting live from the Gardeners’ World Live event in Birmingham this Friday, 13 June, at 8:00 PM on BBC Two. Host Monty Don, Rachel de Thame, Adam Frost, Arit Anderson, and Ashley Edwards will all be on deck, amid what one can only imagine is a profusion of hydrangeas, petunias, and possibly a rogue Venus flytrap or two.
Expect wall-to-wall coverage of the horticultural extravaganza, complete with design ideas, show gardens, and tips on making the most of your own patch of greenery—no matter how small. Nick Bailey will debut his headlining show garden, designed around the idea of maximising every square foot, while a mother-son team will present a border that celebrates their Welsh and Iraqi heritage.
Gardeners’ World continues to be a beacon of sanity for green-fingered viewers, offering a dose of escapism—even if your backyard is closer to a fire escape. This week’s live episode trades Longmeadow’s tranquil vibe for the controlled chaos of a convention centre, but the promise of inspiration—and an army of orchids—will likely prove irresistible to its dedicated fanbase.
Gardeners’ World airs Friday at 8:00 PM on BBC Two.
