BBC Two’s Gardeners’ World heads to the RHS Hampton Court Garden Festival this Friday, July 4, at 8:00 PM, bringing viewers the best of the summer’s horticultural calendar. This episode will be a riot of color and practical advice, straight from one of the UK’s grandest garden events.
Your guides for the evening are Adam Frost, Rachel de Thame, and Frances Tophill, who will lead you through a wealth of vibrant displays. A flower farmer will share the know-how behind her stunning dahlias and seasonal cut flowers, giving plenty of tips for creating your own arrangements at home. Also on tap: a young designer presenting a clever, pocket-sized wildlife haven meant to help hedgehogs—proving that even small spaces can make a big difference for at-risk species.
The program also takes a detour to Devon, where a couple explains their decision to move from chilly Aberdeen to cultivate over 100 varieties of chillies. It’s a move driven by a passion for heat, and it speaks to the wide range of pursuits within the gardening world. Whether you have acres to tend or just a sunny windowsill, there will be ideas you can put to use.
Gardeners’ World is on BBC Two, Friday, July 4, at 8:00 PM.
