Bulbs are starting to break through the soil and buds are beginning to appear on trees and shrubs. With the glimmer of spring on the horizon, it's time for the work to start so your garden is ship shape for the sunnier months ahead.

Don't panic if you're wondering where on earth to start because Monty Don and his team are on hand to advise on everything, from fertilising and re-potting to sowing those first vegetables. Plus, there will still be plenty of time for inspirational visits to a variety of gardens across the UK.

For starters, Monty assesses the work that has to be done in the formal garden at Berryfield's ahead of the coming season, and Joe pays a visit to Hillier Nurseries in Hampshire, where he gets advice on modern shrub borders from garden centre director Andrew McIndoe.

Elsewhere, Carol visits Hodstock Priory garden to see their collection of snowdrop varieties before demonstrating how to plant and divide them. Look out for a guest appearance by Bill Oddie.
