Spring is nearly upon us and Gardeners' World is back with a new series. As usual, Monty Don is at Longmeadow, reviewing the effects the winter weather has had on his garden. Carol Klein visits a Welsh hillside garden and delves into the botany of bulbs with a couple who have used a scientific approach to plant their garden with the earliest of spring flowers. It is the perfect time of year to plant trees and Joe Swift gives us his guide to choosing the best ones for our gardens. And there is a glimmer of hope for gardeners who have had to cope with copious amounts of rainfall this year when we visit a garden which, last year, was brought back from the brink of destruction with spectacular results.

As the gardening year gets underway at Longmeadow, Monty is tidying up his ornamental grass border, pruning roses and planning for summer scent. Joe Swift continues his series on trees when he gives tips on how to plant a tree for future success.

And, in the first of several visits, we join the head gardener of Britain's most famous garden at Sissinghurst as he sets out his plans to restore it to its original vision.
