This week Rachel de Thame takes us to Am Brook Meadow in Newton Abbott where we meet Jennie and Jethro Marles. They take us around their stunning garden and pond before we head over to the wonderful Nigel Palfrey in Kingston St Mary to see his exquisite crinkle-crinkle folly. Alison Taylor in Tilehurst, West Reading shows us her collection of roses and Frances meets with Jennifer at the Weleda Biodynamic Gardens in Derbyshire. We finally spend time with Mark Turner at his orchid nursery in Elmore, Gloucester and see a few of his one hundred thousand plants!
