Autumn is in full swing at Longmeadow, and Monty is making the most of the season. As he prunes roses, stores the apple harvest and plants out spring cabbages in the kitchen garden, he also turns his attention to next year, sharing ideas for bulbs that will bring colour and life to a shady border.

Rachel de Thame visits a specialist wildflower nursery to discover how these beautiful plants can transform our gardens while providing a vital lifeline for wildlife. In Devon, Toby Buckland is back with more ingenious horticultural hacks designed to make gardening easier, cheaper and more enjoyable.

A couple in Shropshire reveal the artistry and dedication behind their remarkable topiary creations, while an Oxfordshire gardener proves that the season is far from over with a dazzling display of late autumn colour.
