Gardeners' World viewers break down in tears as Adam Frost pays moving tribute to 'emotional' co-star - and admits 'I've got goosebumps'
Gardeners' World viewers broke down in tears as Adam Frost paid a moving tribute to his 'emotional' co-star - and admitted 'I've got goosebumps'. Last Friday's episode of the popular BBC show saw the presenter, 55, pay a visit to Bedfords Park Walled Gardens, near the town of Romford, Essex. The historic space was built in the 1700s as a kitchen garden for the mansion house on the estate and was later managed by a nursery growing plants for putting in the local area's green spaces. But it fell into disrepair after the nursery stopped using it in 2000, needing revitalising by a charity - and it is now managed by a group of dedicated local volunteers. Adam met with Lois Amos, a retired horticultural lecturer and one of the garden's voluntary stewards - and the pair had an emotional discussion about her efforts. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He praised her commitment and the excellent work of her team in preserving the garden: 'Lois, you have got an amazing group of volunteers haven't you? 'They seem to have the same passion about the place that you have.' Lois quipped in response: 'Yes, I've infected them with it.' She spoke passionately about the importance of maintaining the space: 'We try to instil into everybody that this is a very historic setting and that these types of places need protection and conservation and they need using and loving.' Adam was impressed: 'I couldn't put it better. You've just given me goosebumps. You have honestly - it's that sense of legacy, brilliant.' The gardener was touched by his kind words: 'Thank you. I've gone all gooey. Now I've gone all emotional!' The presenter said, 'Bless you', at her sincere reaction, offering her a warm hug to comfort her. The Gardeners' World Instagram account had given a hint of the sweet moment in a post ahead of the episode. Adam praised Lois's commitment and the excellent work of her team in preserving the garden: 'Lois, you have got an amazing group of volunteers haven't you?' The caption read: 'Adam's got a wonderful heartwarming story lined up for you this week. 'It tells the tale of Bedford Park's Walled Garden - a community space in Essex brought back to life by Lois Amos and her dedicated team of volunteers.' Viewers returned to the post after watching the episode to express in the comments how lovely it was to watch. 'What a wonderful lady and community! This segment made me cry. More of these truly inspiring stories please.'; 'What an amazing lady!'; 'Fantastic and inspiring. Adorable hug at the end of the item and tears in my eyes too!'; 'Loved it. This was such a wonderful space. Thank goodness she saved it!'; 'Not going to lie, when she got all emotional, so did I. Isn't she wonderful?'; Viewers returned to the post after watching the episode to express in the comments how lovely it was to watch 'Absolutely loved this feature. Even just watching it on telly touched me heart.' First airing in 1968, more than 50 series of Gardeners' World have been released to date - but viewers' excitement has seemingly not let up. Fans were absolutely delighted when the next instalment of the show was announced back in March. Its longtime lead presenter Monty Don posted on Instagram at the time to inform viewers about the new series. The horticulturalist, 69, wrote: 'Gardeners' World back in action in the garden - first programme goes out next Friday.' Included in the post was a photograph of two cameramen stood behind a fence, with two rows of brightly-coloured crocus flowers lining a grassy pathway. Fans rushed to the comments and expressed their excitement, with one penning: 'Thrilled! Can't wait! Been watching for years, and this is my first year having a garden.'; 'Now we know spring has finally begun!'; 'Yippee'; 'Hooray, ready and wating.' Monty has shared his passion for gardens on the popular programme since 2003. He films the series from his own garden, Longmeadow, in the village of Ivington, Herefordshire.

Gardener named plants you must prune right now for plenty of flowers in summer
A gardening expert has shared his top tips for pruning plants in spring, including lavender, buddleia, and ornamental grasses, to ensure a beautiful display of flowers in the summer Garden enthusiasts are set to reap the rewards of their dedication as spring brings a burst of new life in gardens across the nation. However, green thumbs should pay special attention to three particular plants, according to gardening expert Adam Frost. The expert gardener highlighted the importance of "picking the timing" for plant care during the transitional period of spring. Speaking to Country Living, he advised: "To decide when to prune, think about how plants behave in nature. In winter, when trees are dormant, they will drop any weak and dead wood, so it's the best time to prune trees. In general, most trees and shrubs should be pruned after they have flowered." Adam also stressed the significance of technique in pruning, particularly focusing on the three D's: "Dead, diseased and damaged wood". He guided gardeners by saying: "Cut stems on a slant as this encourages rainwater to drain away." For ensuring the health and vigour of plants, Adam recommended always cutting close to a healthy leaf bud and warned against leaving too much stem above a cut to prevent dieback and potential infection. He further advised: "Look for a bud that is outward-facing. If branches grow inwards, they tend to become congested.", reports the Express. When it comes to spring pruning, Adam noted that certain plants such as lavender, buddleia, and ornamental grasses typically need trimming back. By following these pruning practices, gardeners can encourage a lush display of flowers, foliage, and vibrant stems, fostering a thriving garden as the season progresses. If you're eager to trim like a pro, Mediterranean shrubs such as lavender are best pruned in spring, after the harsh winter conditions. This is beneficial as the old stems and flowers shield new shoots from frost during winter. In early April, trim lavender stems back by one-third to one-half, focusing on green sections and avoiding cutting into old, woody wood to stimulate new growth and a compact shape. Other tender shrubs that should be pruned in spring include cistus and rosemary. Flowering shrubs that bloomed in the summer, including fuchsia and buddleia, should be cut back hard in spring to trigger a burst of new growth from the base of the plant. This will ensure plenty of flowers for the upcoming season. First, trim back the top growth to around half its height for better access to the base of the plant. Cut through the thick woody stems, around 30cm above the ground and, where possible, prune just above a bud or growing shoot. Using a pruning saw or lopper, remove any dead stubs and branches. Aim to produce a short, strong framework of five to six main branches. If you don't prune your buddleia, it will get taller and scruffier-looking, and the amount of big, bold blooms you get per square foot of shrub will decline. These will gradually be replaced with twiggy, leafy growth with small flowers. In spring, deciduous grasses like Miscanthus that have stood over winter can be cut back hard. All the brown growth should be removed, leaving any new green stems behind. For smaller clumps, use secateurs, removing each old stem individually and being careful not to cut off the emerging new shoots. For larger clumps, hedge trimmers can be used, but you should leave about 10cm of the old stems to avoid cutting through new growth.
