At Longmeadow Monty opens the programme admiring his still flowering Dahlias and, as October is the ideal time for planting shrubs, plants Magnolia stellata, Star magnolia in the Jewel Garden. Monty also observes that his Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Mariesii', Japanese snowball is also still flowering in this warm October climate. Monty moves to the Damp Garden and plants Hamamelis x intermedia 'Diane', Witch hazel.
