Zoe Ball is live in Doncaster, as she unveils the bee-friendly garden designed by a young listener, as part of Radio 2’s Big Bee Challenge.

Radio 2’s new Big Bee Garden is being built at Doncaster’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (part of Rotherham, Doncaster and South Humber NHS Trust), which has recently moved into a new building. This new garden will make it a tranquil place for young people to go and relax with their family before or after a visit or somewhere they can chat with their therapist. It will, of course, also be a fantastic place for bees and insects to thrive.

Zoe will be joined by Radio 2’s very own travel presenter and The One Show roving reporter, Richie Anderson, as they meet the people who will benefit most from the new garden and will be chatting to the winning designer - who only found out they’d won on yesterday’s Breakfast Show – to find out what they think of their design brought to life. Plus top garden designer Adam Frost tells Zoe how he managed to build the garden, with the help of the Royal Horticultural Society, in a matter of weeks, and more big bee supporters join the celebration. All this and BRIT Award nominated and platinum selling, UK singer-songwriter Ella Henderson performs live.

Along with Adam Porter on news and Richie Anderson on travel, Zoe and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners and more music than you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a Pause For Thought from Kate Bottley and listeners on the line as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
