Plants and Products in the final Love Your Garden

Episode 6 of Love Your Garden, the final episode of the series, saw Alan Titchmarsh, David Domoney and the team arrive at Bluebell Wood Children's Hospice in South Yorkshire.

What is missing from Bluebell Wood is a place where families can come together to remember those they have lost. Alan sets to work to create a garden of tranquillity in its surrounding grounds.

The main feature was a dry river bed created using Caledonia pebbles and large boulders sourced from a nearby limestone quarry
