This week Adam Frost is in the Lake District at the stunning Holehird Gardens, home of 6 national collections. We meet Pat Murphy who shows the impressive collection of meconopsis and Alison Sandford describes how she manages the 120 volunteers who make the magic happen. Matthew Simmons in Bedminster tells us about the wonderful Secret Gardens Trail and we meet Sarah and Mo in their wildlife garden, and Mark Majak shares his jurassic inspired garden packed to the rafters! We then head to the Peak District with Rekha to meet Melanie Moore, owner of the beautiful Horsleygate Hall and its efficient kitchen gardens. Finally we spend time with the wonderful “Delphinium Dad” Colin Parton from Leeds, at Delph Cottage Garden in Methley, where he shows us his majestic collection of 106 cultivars of delphiniums.
