Gardeners' World Compilations 2026

Gardeners' World 2026 returns with Monty Don welcoming us to the first of four Gardeners' World Compilations 2026

The first programme was shown on Friday 09 January 2026 on BBC2 and repeated in the Saturday morning Gardening slot and is also available on the BBC iplayer.

With Gardeners' World 2025 ending late this year and Gardeners' World Winter Specials 2025/2026 only just ending, Monty is back with the highlights of the last series already.

The first of the four programmes looks back on Monty making changes to the Jewel Garden by adding giant grasses, he plants some Dwarf Beans and gives us some tips for Oriental Poppies

We revisit a garden in Bath visited by Toby Buckland, as well as a visit to RHS Bridgewater by Jamie Butterworth.

Adam Frost visits a walled garden in Essex and we see what a Community Group in Cheshire has done to involve people in gardening as well as visit a Couple in the Peak District that have their own way of growing vegetables.

Some armchair gardening during the cold Winter months is always a treat as we take a break from the hard graft to flick through some seed catalogues and plan ahead for the next season.

Time for some inspiration and planning, time to admire others hard work and if we do not achieve a garden to Longmeadow's standards, just getting to taste your own produce or have a garden full of colour is just an achievement!

Hurry up Spring!
