Borde Hill
Peter Gibbs and his panel of GQT experts are in Borde Hill answering horticultural questions.
I planted 250 parsnip seeds, why have I only managed to grow two? Should I radically prune my rose bush? What's the most surprising thing you鈥檝e uncovered while gardening?
Peter Gibbs and his panel of GQT experts are in Borde Hill. Ready to share their expertise on a variety of plant-based problems are plant pathologist Pippa Greenwood, proud horticulturist Christine Walkden, and garden gur, Kirsty Wilson.
GQT regular and curator of RHS Wisley, Matthew Pottage pays a visit to Warley Place, the former home of passionate plant collector, Ellen Willmott, to discuss her legacy on the gardening world.
