Britain’s rich horticultural history is being lost. More and more front and back gardens are paved over - for development, for parking spaces, or because families don’t have the time or inclination to manage these spaces.

Step forward the BBC’s most-loved gardening experts, who are determined to turn us back into a green-fingered nation once again.
