Ash and Adam Frost are presenting this week's Gardeners' World Winter Special. Rachel de Thame takes us to Cheltenham to visit ex-commercial airline pilot Linda Marsh and her beautiful garden at The Stables, with influences from Piet Oudolf. We visit Jack First in Porthmadog near Gwyneth who shows us the incredible success he has with hotbeds. Toby Buckland gives us a tour of Caisson Gardens near Bath where we meet owners Amanda and Phil Honey who give us a bit of the history. We visit the Wonky Gardens in Widness in Halton Cheshire, where co-founder Angela Hayler describes the fantastic work they do there including their contribution to food banks and the "flower cuddles" they give the community. Finally Joe Swift takes us to Iford Manor to have a look around the stunning gardens with Head Gardener Steve Lannin. We hear about Harold Peto's design and meet William Cartwright-Hignett the current custodians.
