Peter Gibbs hosts the horticultural programme featuring a group of gardening experts. Fielding questions from across the country are James Wong, Kirsty Wilson, and Matt Biggs.

This week, the panel investigates the mysterious case of buried eggs in one North London garden, discusses the best conditions for growing sunflowers, and considers the benefits of cultivating moss indoors.

GQT's intrepid explorer Dr Chris Thorogood travels to the Philippines in search of the popular UK house plant, the medinilla magnifica or rose grape, and plant historian Advolly Richmond shares the fascinating folklore of the bluebell.
