Gardening With Carol Klein

Carol 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.

Carol demonstrates how to grow, or propagate, plants. 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.

This week, at her delightful garden at Glebe Cottage in Devon, the host takes the opportunity to introduce us to an absolute gem: the Dog's Tooth Violet.

This week, more delightful and inspiring plants and tasks from Carol Klein, as spring really gets under way at her lovely country garden at Glebe Cottage in Devon.

Carol is planting onions in her veg garden, and showing us the first shoots of her ornamental allium bulbs, which she planted in pots last autumn.

At Glebe Cottage in Devon, it's all froth and laciness, now that the flouncy cow parsley is flowering. Carol revels in her bluebell display-one of the highlights of spring.
