Monty Don helps you to get your garden ready for the cooler months and setting yourself up for an amazing spring. We start with the simple but rewarding fall job of planting wallflowers, the perfect fragrant partner for your spring tulips. Then, we take a fascinating look at the history of roses, including a visit to a collector whose search for rare, historically-accurate varieties was inspired by classical art. We give you a complete guide to protecting your tender plants by cleaning and insulating your greenhouse for winter, and share tips for planting bulbs now for a festive Christmas bloom. Finally, we tackle the lawn issue of earthworm casts, explaining why these little mounds are actually a great sign of health and how to turn them into free, natural compost for your garden.
