pruning techniques

Gardeners World 2023 episode 1: Monty and the team return with a celebration of spring. There’s been plenty going on over the winter and lots of new projects in the garden to share. As well as getting on with some essential rose pruning, Monty plants clematis and rocket, cuts back grasses and makes a start on sowing annuals for colour this summer. Carol Klein visits Colesbourne Gardens in Gloucestershire to revel in their vibrant displays of spring colour. There’s also a skateboarding gardener who has created a haven for wildlife – and herself – in her forest garden in Sheffield.
