Peter Gibbs presents the programme from the new Temperate House at Kew Gardens. James Wong, Anne Swithinbank and a special guest panellist from Kew Gardens answer the questions.
In and amongst the magnificent plants in the Temperate House the panel help out audience members with how to grow carnivorous plants at home, how to revive an ailing Hibiscus, and how to get the most out of a tired palm tree.
They also offer tips on what to do with used compost, how to pot on an olive tree, and they offer planting suggestions to climb up a windowsill.
In the feature we hear from James Wong's previous trip to the Temperate House when construction was still underway and he investigates the mammoth task of removing and replacing all the plants during the process.
