About this episode

Toby Buckland discusses how to embrace the unique challenges of your garden to create a distinctive and resilient space.

Heavy clay, deep shade, a sun scorched patch of ground where nothing seems to flourish. It's easy to see these as problems, but sometimes the very thing you are battling is the key to a garden that feels distinctive, resilient, and entirely your own. Gardener, TV presenter and author Toby Buckland, explores how to unlock the potential of your plot by embracing its character and all its flaws. From reading your space properly, spotting opportunities where others see obstacles, and choosing plants that celebrate your conditions rather than suffering through them, discover how to create the garden that works for you.
