Gardeners’ World Live 2026

This week on episode 14 we follow Gardeners’ World to GW Live and a whistle-stop tour of some of the gardens, border, and barrows at the show, with a plant list available to our subscribers.

The show has Sweetpea wondering if it’s better to eat more but smaller pieces, or fewer but larger pieces of cake in one sitting, and we consider the pros and cons of using cork, both in the bathroom, in wine bottles, and in the garden, with an underlying question still to be answered.

Next Time on Gardeners’ World – 26th June

At Longmeadow, Monty is in full summer mode – revamping and refreshing borders to keep the garden looking its best right through the season. He turns his attention to the cucurbit family, planting melons and squash, shares a simple trick to extend the flowering of hardy geraniums, and sows perennial seeds for spectacular colour next year. 

Arit Anderson heads to south east London to discover the striking transformation of a garden that was once a derelict space into a bold, contemporary community garden powered by creativity, collaboration and clever planting. Rachel de Thame explores how self-seeding plants can be carefully choreographed to create a beautifully natural, flowing design.

There’s a passionate grower dedicated to the National Collection of penstemons, and in the Yorkshire Dales, a florist and lifelong gardener shares a deeply personal story of resilience – finding strength, purpose and renewed creativity through rebuilding a garden after a life-changing diagnosis.
