BBC Radio 4 - Gardeners' Question Time, Bath

Peter Gibbs and a panel of horticultural experts head to Bath.

Do you really need to wait until the freezing depths of winter before pruning a climbing rose? How do you start a compost heap? And what exactly is Fuchsia gall mite?

Garden designers Chris Bearshaw, Juliet Sargeant, and RHS Wisley curator Matthew Pottage are ready to answer questions from a live audience in Bath. On his way to the hall, Peter Gibbs takes a stroll with historian Professor Marion Harney through Bath's historic Pleasure Gardens - gardens which often feature in Jane Austen's writing. 

Also on the programme, Ashley Edwards heads to Gladstone Park in North London to speak to garden designer Antonia Couling and artist Harun Morrison about their landscape garden feature The Anchor, The Drum, The Ship.
