Kathy Clugston hosts the horticultural programme featuring a group of gardening experts. This week, a virtual audience of listeners from across the country puts questions to Chris Beardshaw, Pippa Greenwood and Bunny Guinness. Our panellists share their vegetable-growing nightmares, and suggest some fun planting ideas that young children can enjoy too. They also advise on the best trees and plants to recreate your own woodland in the garden. Matthew Pottage tells us about his favourite childhood tree, and we join Hasah Hafeji in the garden for a summer holiday activity - building a wildlife pond.
