Gardening with Carol Klein (2021)

First of a two-part masterclass in which Carol Klein shares her gardening knowledge, covering everything from putting the right plant in the right place and growing plants from scratch to achieving edibles and getting beautiful results from ornamentals. She begins by discussing the importance of observing nature, to understand how plants grow in the wild, and how a gardener can work out the conditions of their specific plot.

The second of a two-part masterclass in which the horticulturalist shares her knowledge. From her potting shed at Glebe Cottage garden, Carol shows in detail how to sow seed, and then how to bring on the resulting young plants, caring for them until they reach maturity. Outdoors, she explains how to pant vegetables and how to combine edibles with ornamental plants in a tight space to make a colourful - and tasty - display. For more advanced gardeners, Carol gives precise instructions about how to make new plants from existing ones, by dividing them or by taking cuttings.

Carol communicates the excitement of fresh growth in spring. Beneath her still-bare trees Carol finds 'Cinderella plants' - wood anemones, celandines and other spring flowers.
