On the biggest gardening weekend of the year garden designer and tv presenter Diarmuid Gavin joins Aasmah Mir and Suzy Klein to spill the beans on the highs and lows of taking part in the Chelsea Flower Show, the inspiration behind some of his wackier gardens and the excesses of his overnight propulsion to tv heart throb.
Also, York based chocolatier Sophie Jewett will be teaching us how to #bbcgetcreative with chocolate and helping the studio guests decorate their very own Easter Eggs. Writer John-Paul Flintoff will be talking about The Family Project - a manual for people who want to discover their family story but don't know where to start. And then the extreme ornithologists who broke the world record for the number of species identified in a single calendar year. Ruth Miller and Alan Davies talk bush fires, a rescue from a sinking dinghy and an elephant charge. We ask was it worth it?
All that with the Inheritance Tracks of Helena Bonham Carter and listener Dale Gibson on how he spends his Saturday's tending to his swarm of urban bees.
Helena chooses 'Look Mummy, No Hands' by Fascinating Aida and 'Not While I'm Around' from the movie version of Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street.
The Family Project: A Creative Handbook for Anyone Who Wants to Discover Their Family Story - but Doesn't Know Where To Start by Harriet Green and John-Paul Flintoff is published by Guardian Faber Publishing and available now.
