HORTICULTURE AND GARDENING: With autumn well under way, some plants in the garden need to be brought in under cover. Monty Don makes a start by insulating his greenhouse to provide a winter home for all sorts of tender plants and gives his tips and techniques for ensuring their survival until next year. Carol Klein visits the garden of a tropical plant enthusiast to find out how he protects some of his exotic specimens and also discovers some which are perfectly hardy in Britain's climate. And Monty's at the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden in South Africa, admiring many of their native plants which are also familiar to British gardens.
