Carol dedicated a part of her garden to her mum – and shared the intimate surroundings with viewers In tonight’s episode of Spring Gardening with Carol Klein – airing on Channel 5.
Named after her mum as well, Jeannie’s garden boasts a mesmerising display of plants.

The versatile plant can be grown in a mixture of surroundings, dry or damp, so long as the soil has good drainage.
Daffodils also like sunny spots best so make sure the area isn’t too shaded.
The gardening whizz then got to planting the stunningly pink Bergenias.
Carol said these plants – which almost look like pink bluebells, adore homemade compost mixed into the soil.
Carol said after planting any plant you should give the soil a good drenching with water to help them settle into their new environment.
The expert said to do this every day for the first two weeks while the plants get used to their new home.
As Carol took viewers through her mum’s garden she revealed her favourite thing about gardening – and it isn’t the plants.

She said: “Nothing in gardening has an end, we keep adding to it.
“Gardening is much more than a collection of plants, that part is wonderful but it’s all about the memories and they are all in the garden.”
Carol says she’s thrilled to be able to share those memories with viewers and encourage them to make their own too.
The show centres around Carol’s garden at Glebe Cottage, where she has built her garden over the last 30 years.
