Kathy Clugston and the gardening experts are at the Chelsea Flower Show, answering horticultural queries.

Which stepover trees produce the crunchiest apples? Should celandines be treated as a traditional weed? What type of slugs are actually helpful in my garden?
 
Kathy Clugston is joined by experts Matthew Wilson, Juliet Sargeant and Dr Chris Thorogood as they head to this year's Chelsea Flower Show. While the panellists enjoy the various innovative exhibitions on show, they also answer some of your horticultural queries.
 
Meanwhile, roving reporter Peter Gibbs explores the showgrounds. He learns all about putting soil through a laundry room to prepare it for reuse, is drawn to an unusual plant he's not encountered before, learns which orchids can be grown at home easily and hears all about the different types of bees we have in our garden
