Amateur Gardener

Sean visits locals for their annual apple harvest and the organiser, Ian, explains how to make cider and apple juice.

Sean lifts the potatoes for Christmas Day dinner. During the summer Claire and Sean visit the BBC Gardeners World exhibition…

Sean is waiting for the rain while Jonathan uses the elderflowers from around the plot in his Elderflower Champagne.

Claire and Kris are very busy in the garden and on the allotment with flowers and vegetables. Jonathan makes a wild salad and we visit The Grow Your Own Show.

Kris is in the greenhouse while Claire is on the allotment and Sean meets Guerilla Gardener Richard Reynolds and bee expert Ian Bedford. Jonathan hunts around for the allotment for something frugal.

Sean and Claire continue work on the allotment. We visit Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses and launch the NGS Yellow Book.

Sean harvests the first of the rhubarb and visits a new allotment site in Hampshire while Claire is in the greenhouse sowing the first fruit of the year.

We meet the gardeners and introduce the allotment before kicking off the season with the first sowings of vegetables and flowers.
