Wild flowers, topiary tips and more to feature on BBC Two's Great British Garden Revival

Over the next few weeks BBC Two looks set to be dominated by talk of cottage gardens, wild flowers, topiary and more.

The Great British Garden Revival will be running on the channel in December and January bringing together 14 of Britain’s top television gardeners.

Tips and advice on a range of gardening subjects will be passed on by Monty Don, Carol Klein, Joe Swift, Rachel de Thame, James Wong, Tom Hart Dyke, Chris Beardshaw, Alys Fowler, Charlie Dimmock, Diarmuid Gavin, Christine Walkden, Toby Buckland, Sarah Raven and Matt James.

In each episode, two presenters will focus on an endangered aspect of gardens about which they feel passionately, and offer hands-on, practical advice to viewers on how they can restore and look after their gardens.

The series will feature episodes on cottage gardens, herbaceous borders, cut flowers, roof gardens, topiary, ornamental bedding, ponds and water features, fruit tress and kitchen gardens.

The trend for easy-to-maintain lawns, patios and paving has led to a decline in traditional gardens full of flowers, plants and trees to the extent that some of our most iconic flora and fauna have all but disappeared.

But the garden experts hope to turn this around over the coming weeks, with an interesting selection of subjects covered:
