Worlds End is a plants person's paradise of a garden belonging to husband and wife team Robin and Kristina Pearce. Their private gardens are a showcase of what's on offer next door in the nursery they both run in Hallow, Worcestershire.

Carol offers tips on how to quick fix a huge void in their planting scheme left by a dead eucalyptus.
