GQT at Home: Creeping Thyme and Chimney Pot Design
Peter Gibbs hosts the horticultural programme with Pippa Greenwood, Matt Biggs and Christine Walkden. This week, the panellists get imaginative with planting ideas for a chimney pot garden feature. They also take on an unruly Jasmine, and suggest some fence climbing plants that will help attract wildlife. As autumn is approaching, Ashley Edwards explains how to bring in houseplants that were taken outside over the summer. Meanwhile, Matthew Wilson helps demystify all things plant food.

GQT at Home: Drying Flowers and Acer Bowers
Horticultural programme featuring a group of gardening experts, hosted by Peter Gibbs. Joining him this week are Anne Swithinbank, Matthew Wilson, Christine Walkden and a virtual audience from across the country. Romance is in the air as the panel discusses wedding bouquet flowers, and one listener's life long love affair with lavender. There may be a few confessions along the way, as the panellists reveal the new plant temptations in their life. Away from the questions, Hazel Gardiner leads us through her sumptuous September floristry highlights, and Bunny effuses about her favourite tree, the Cork Oak, for our Great Trees of GQT series.

Peter Gibbs hosts this week's horticultural panel show. His experts, on hand to answer listeners questions, queries and quandaries, are Matthew Wilson, Anne Swithinbank and Christine Walkden. They are joined by a virtual audience from across the country. This week, the panellists explain how to move a Lupin when moving house, and share their top tips for cheering up a rather sad looking Cordyline. They also give some low maintenance, but suitably fragrant, planting ideas for a listener's cottage window boxes. Meanwhile, Dr Chris Thorogood takes us to the rainforest floor where an unusual and rare Malaysian plant can be found, the Fairy Lantern. And our Great Trees of GQT series continues as Jacquie Felix tells us about her favourite, the Himalayan Birch.
