In the first of three transformations, Gay
Search shows howtotum a dull patio into a small oasis of colourful plants. Meanwhile, Alan Titchmarsh trims the topiary and plants his Mediterranean garden at Barleywood in Hampshire and Stephen Lacey looks at rhododendrons in Wakehurst
Place in West Sussex and argues that there is a place for them in every garden. Plus, the story of the Electric Light Orchestra's sound engineer who gathered the seeds of exotic trees while on tour and replanted them in his
Worcestershire garden. See today's choices.
