Kathy Clugston visits Essex for her GQT debut. Joining her to answer questions from local gardeners are Christine Walkden, Matthew Wilson and Matt Biggs. This week, the panellists answer questions on a non-flowering rhododendron, tackling rampant ivy, and perennial flowers for the dry conditions of Essex. They also discuss plants for creating a tranquil garden and the best time to prune a Firehorn, and work out whether a questioner’s Staghorn sumac is alive or dead. Away form the questions, Matt Biggs heads to Shutheath Wood to talk to Mark Iley of the Essex Wildlife Trust about the threat to our bluebells and what we can do to ensure their survival.
