This time last Friday, I had one of those moments first thing in the morning where I thought to myself, “Oops. This requires a bit of up and into it.” I’m not sure about you, but I’m one of those people that will always wake up before my alarm, so 99 out of 100 times, I’ll tend to look at the clock and guess what time I think it is. On this occasion, things were a bit askew. Here’s how it unfolded.

Hannah meets conservationists saving endangered birds, Costa visits a stunning ornamental garden, we meet a prolific bonsai artist, Jane visits an innovative small garden, Millie shows how frost can be a gardener’s friend and Tammy crafts a bay leaf wreath.
