* Using waste materials to make flower rich places
* Green roofs, they are easy and make so much sense. Find out how to build them

* Got some tree questions, my mate Andy Klecha tree man will be here to help
* Chat veg and design with Jo Baker our cool garden designer
* Ponds and how to build a good one for wildlife
* The amazing Rod Cole will share some thoughts on native plants and all things wild
* I’ll bang on about getting food into public green space
