Winterfindsmost gardeners gazing at seed catalogues and longing for spring. But there are plenty of ways to make a winter garden look attractive as Geoff Hamilton , Liz Rigbey and Nick Wray explain in this, the first programme of a new series. A dried herbaceous borderisjustoneofthe imaginative ideas they suggest to brighten up a bleak landscape.
Later in the series there will be special features on foliage, plants for problem places, and gardening in confined spaces, as well as the annual visits to the flower shows at Chelsea and Hampton Court.
Next week the programme takes a short break to make way for the Winter Olympics, but it returns in a fortnight with the first of a regular look at organic gardening.
