Peter Gibbs and the panel are in Birmingham, hosted by Thrive Gardening - a gardening for health charity. Bob Flowerdew, Matthew Pottage and Bunny Guinness answer this week's questions from budding gardeners.

The panellists discuss their favourite shrubs with coloured leaves, recommend flowering herbaceous perennials, and consider how to get a fuchsia bush to flower again.

They also advise on the best time to take a cutting for a honeysuckle, prune an apricot tree, and plant forget-me-not seeds.
 
And Peter meets archivist Sarah Foden to discuss the local history at the Bournville gardens where the Cadbury brothers set up their Factory in a Garden in 1879, which inspired their Roses chocolates.
