HORTICULTURE AND GARDENING 17-11
Tips, Tricks
HORTICULTURE AND GARDENING: It may be frosty outside but there's still plenty to be getting on with in the garden and fun to be had in the great outdoors. In this GW Christmas Special, Monty Don, Carol Klein, Joe Swift and Rachel de Thame celebrate the festive season from a gardener's point of view. At Longmeadow, Monty and Rachel have a good clear up, cutting back some plants but leaving others for winter structure and wildlife. He also rejuvenates his rhubarb patch and introduces a local Herefordshire heritage variety apple tree to his orchard. Monty also enlists Joe's help to move a holly tree that has outgrown its situation. Out and about - Carol Klein discovers some of Britain's best winter walks; Rachel de Thame gets tips on how, with a bit of ingenuity, anyone can make beautiful Christmas decorations from their own garden; and Joe Swift visits an urban vineyard, in Hackney, East London to find out which grapes you can grow at home. As a special Christmas cracker, Pam Ayres, poet and gardener, shows us how she encourages wildlife into her garden and provides for seasonal visitors during the colder months. As the programme draws to a close, Rachel, Joe, Carol and Monty gather round the brazier for a glass of wine and to reflect on a fabulous year's gardening and to toast Happy Christmas to one and all.

Thank you so much for posting these :) Watched every single episode that you've uploaded, it is a real treat and addiction now...Unfortunately there's no comparable program in the US and no easy access to the BBC shows... Please keep them coming, I'm really hoping for more episodes from past years. And I know Monty's on right now with Big Dreams Small Spaces, is there a chance we could see it in your channel?

Ditto to the comment below. I think I've watched every episode on YouTube at least once. I'm one Yank who appreciates this wonderful BBC program. I feel as if Monty, Joe and Carol are members of the family! Is it me, or does Rachael look like Jane Seymour?
