Rather than sprawling country estates or celebrated public gardens, Love Your Garden focuses on sections which have been turned into magical outdoor living spaces.
From the traditional British garden to the cottage garden and the rose garden; each episode focuses on a type of garden many of us dream of. Alan meets the passionate owner to uncover the story of the garden's creation and the challenges of keeping it. He will also pick out the key qualities that make that garden special and reveal to viewers how to get the look themselves.
Alan's team of experts will be on hand to demonstrate other ways in which the garden can be used. Food expert Valentine Warner explores the increasingly popular world of growing your own food; Garden designer Matt James gives advice on structure, from buying the right furniture to building the perfect water feature; wildlife expert Charlotte Uhlenbroek meets the gardeners who are passionate about bringing wildlife to their garden and Laetitia Maklouf demonstrates how to transform the tiniest of spaces from elegant conservatories to beautiful window boxes.
Fridays, 9.30pm
