You will see how to provide the moisture and shade these prehistoric plants require to thrive in a typical backyard. The story continues at West Dean Gardens, where a husband and wife team share the results of a twenty-five-year labor of love. For those dealing with smaller spaces, we visit a narrow terrace garden in South London that uses clever architectural tricks and antique details to create a sense of endless scale. We also look at the practical side of the season, from protecting ripening blackcurrants from birds to the gruesome yet fascinating world of natural pest control. You will see how tiny wasps protect your plants without the need for harsh chemicals. Finally, we celebrate the hardy geranium, a garden classic that brings reliable color and texture to any border. Whether you are looking for design inspiration or simple weekend jobs, these stories show the power of plants to transform our environments and our well-being.
