RHS: TATTON FLOWER SHOW
BBC2, 7.30pm There are few things more British than a summer flower show. Just pair it up with a Pimm’s and a plate of scones – and you’re good to go.
Monty Don and Joe Swift (who else?) lead the team giving us a guided tour of this horticultural event in Tatton Park, Cheshire – and even if you don’t give two hoots about how to grow hydrangeas, you’ll find the whole affair quite relaxing.
Tonight, there are highlights from the finals of the RHS Young Designer of the Year, Best Show Garden and Best Back to Back Garden competition.
Arit Anderson looks at a garden designed to adapt to our changing climate, while Carol Klein investigates the rise of cacti and succulents as the must-have house plants. Plus, Monty and Joe take a fun trip down Bus Stop Boulevard to choose their favourite of the revamped bus shelters making their debut.
