Hexham Abbey
How do we get our climbing hydrangea in a pot to flower? How can I encourage more wildlife into my garden without it being too wild? Peter Gibbs and the panel have all the answers.
Can you suggest some plants that could withstand being in strong winds? What can I do to encourage more wildlife into my garden without it looking too wild? What gardening activity would you like to do on your 100th birthday?
Peter Gibbs and his team of gardening experts answer the questions from the audience in Hexham Abbey.
Joining Peter to unearth the horticultural dilemmas are passionate garden designers Matthew Wilson and Bunny Guinness, and house plant expert Anne Swithinbank.
Later in the programme, Matthew Wilson is joined by local horticulturists Rachel Ryver and Kay Owen as they visit what remains of the Sycamore Gap and discuss what's being done to regrow the iconic tree.
