Robin and Kristina Pearce's lush garden showcases what is in the nursery they run.

Series following gardeners aiming to have their gardens accepted into the National Gardens Scheme. Among those considered is a nursery showcase.

Carol Klein presents a series which follows 20 gardeners as they attempt to have their gardens accepted into the demanding National Gardens Scheme. 

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. They are both longing to get into the yellow book, but are not taking the chance to open lightly as a negative outcome could affect their business. Robin and Kristina’s garden is brimming with herbaceous plants, but there is also an informal pond and bog garden with beds of hostas and ferns, and a formal rill feature. Carol offers tips on how to quick fix a huge void in their planting scheme left by a dead eucalyptus.

In Mansfield Street, Bristol, 36-year-old Alice Hindle is desperate to get her sensory garden into the prestigious yellow book. Having created the garden for her blind mother, she now feels it is time to let others enjoy the wonders of it, but will poor access and the garden's diminutive dimensions spell disaster for her dreams of opening? Luckily for her Carol is on hand to provide plenty of good ideas for planting to awaken the senses.
