Monty Don's British Gardens Episode 1 Scotland and Northumberland

Monty Don welcomes us to Monty Don's British Gardens Episode 1 Scotland and Northumberland.

Monty starts by telling us he has been to gardens all over the world and been a gardener and made gardens his whole life. Gardening is his life just like he needs air to breath.

Now its the turn of Great Britain for Monty to explore and to explore why gardening and gardens are so popular here.

From large gardens where you can do anything you want to them or small gardens where you can imagine and create in too.

Monty Don's British Gardens

Monty Don's British Gardens is a 5 part series featuring our favourite TV Gardener Monty Don  that was first shown in BBC2 on Friday 10 January 2025.

The series over the 5 episodes sees Monty visiting 60 gardens all over the United Kingdom in the most comprehensive coverage of Great Britain's much loved Gardens as well as hidden gems.

This hour long programme starts on the North West Coast of Scotland and in the final episode ends up in the South West of England.

Love Your Garden Series 4

Alan Titchmarsh introduces us to the 4th series of Love Your Garden which was first aired on 24 June 2014.

Alan is again joined by his trusty team of David Domoney, Katie Rushworth  and Frances Tophill.

Craft Christmas at Beechgrove

Beechgrove  returns for the Winter schedule with a new programme for 2024, Craft Christmas at Beechgrove which was first shown on BBC Scotland on 28/11/2024 at 7.30 pm.

This programme sadly looks like it is only being shown on BBC Scotland but will also be able to be viewed via the BBC iplayer or if your Smart TV includes BBC Scotland.

It is repeated on BBC Scotland on Sunday and Monday.

The programme runs for 4 episodes and although strictly is more Christmas than gardening there is also an element of gardening included in each episode.

Gardeners' World Winter Specials 2024/2025

Gardeners' World 2024 returns with Monty Don welcoming us to the first of four Gardeners' World Winter Specials 2024.

The first programme was shown a bit too early in my opinion on Friday15 November 2024 on BBC2 and repeated in the Saturday morning Gardening slot and is also available on the BBC iplayer.

These Winter Specials last year started in December but this year it is the following week to the main series ending!

Personally I think January or February would be better scheduling when there is not much to do in the garden!
