Carol clears away the winter debris and prepares the garden for spring's renewal.

Series following a year in Carol Klein's garden in Devon. It is spring and Carol must clear away the last of the winter debris and prepare for the garden's renewal.

It is spring and changes are afoot in the garden.

Carol begins the season by clearing away the last of the winter debris. All pruning needs to be done before the end of March and she celebrates the new season by sowing her first seeds. An expert hedge pruner comes to cloud-prune Carol's box hedging but work is interrupted by a nesting hedge sparrow. 

Down in the woodland garden, snowdrops have given way to celandines, violets and primroses. In May, there is a surge of new growth. It is a time for cow parsley and blossom. Although the seedlings need pricking out, the frosts are now over and the garden's renewal is underway.
