RHS Sandringham Flower Show

On Gardeners’ World 2026 Episode 19 Recap we ponder interveinal chlorosis and get dates in the diary for some Geoff Hamilton content.

On Gardeners’ World, we speed ’round RHS Sandringham Flower Show, checking out some of the Show Gardens, Feature Gardens, Grow Forward Gardens, and Long Borders. Tony Kirkham gives us some insight into the future of trees, before ZCSucculents’ Chen from Beijing and her husband David from Tunbridge Wells talk chubby and cute succulents. John Cullen gives us a masterclass on his National Collection of Achillea in Boston, and we meet Matt from Gransfield Nursery in Hampshire as he prepares for the show. Finally Ian Limmer from Peter Beale’s Roses gives us some tips and tricks for looking after their plants.

Now that rambling roses have finished flowering, Monty turns his attention to pruning and tying in new growth for a good display next year. 

On the 20th anniversary of the death of Geoff Hamilton, Adam Frost returns to the famous Gardeners’ World location, Barnsdale, to pay tribute and to revisit some of his own early gardening memories. 

And we travel to Abergavenny to visit the garden of a sweet pea enthusiast, to get her top tips for growing the best blooms.

1st August 2026 at 20:50 Gardeners’ World 1986 Episode 29

Geoff Hamilton, Margaret Waddy and John Kelly present a programme from Barnsdale.

Early August is an ideal time for propagation, and with this in mind, the team shows how to take softwood and semi-ripe cuttings and how to build a do-it-yourself propagator.

Fuchsia expert John Smith joins the team, while in the vegetable area, attention turns to unusual vegetables such as pak choi, saladisi and chrysanthemum.

Next Time on Gardeners’ World – 31st July

As summer reaches its peak, Monty plans ahead, and after weeks of soaring temperatures, he’s got his work cut out refreshing the borders with a selection of late-summer perennials. He also has a rambling rose to tackle, and in the veg garden, the cleared beds are quickly being re-sown with crops for future harvests.

Thirty years after the death of gardening legend Geoff Hamilton, Adam Frost makes a deeply personal visit to Barnsdale and reflects on the man whose huge influence helped shape both his career and love of horticulture.

Carol Klein continues her fascinating journey into the secret life of plants. Exploring cutting-edge science, she discovers how vast networks of underground microbes work in partnership with plant roots, revealing the extraordinary hidden world beneath the earth.

There’s an award-winning grower whose passion for gladioli has led to a collection of more than 1,800 spectacular blooms. Plus a visit to a remarkable Balinese-inspired tropical paradise nestled on the edge of the Brecon Beacons.
