A weekly date for enthusiasts to meet Percy Thrower and his gardening friends.

Most spring bulbs are now over and Percy Thrower gives advice on clearing the beds and heeling in the bulbs. He also discusses the mulching of newly planted shrubs, and plants a window box for summer flowering.
In the Royal Horticultural Society's Gardens at Wisley the rhododendrons on Battleston Hill are at their best. F. P. Knight, the Director, shows some of the varieties to be found there and demonstrates how new ones are evolved by hybridisation.

A five-year drought has ended in the great plains of Texas and Oklahoma. Violent blizzards have struck an area where only eight weeks ago pictures of dusty wastes and gigantic sandstorms were being taken to show what happens when no rain falls for five years. In contrast other parts of the vast American continent struggle with the fury of floods as West Virginia, Tennessee, and Ohio are struck by hurricanes 'Connie' and 'Diane'.
Produced and directed for the British Broadcasting Corporation and for the United States Information Agency by Don Cash.
