Locations
The show was presented until 2003 from the lead presenter's own garden.
- First was Percy Thrower's The Magnolias in Shrewsbury
- Then Arthur Billitt's Clack's Farm at Ombersley in Worcestershire
- Followed by two gardens, both called Barnsdale, owned by Geoff Hamilton in Rutland
- Next was Alan Titchmarsh's garden at Woodroyd in Alton, Hampshire, renamed Barleywood for the programme
- Next was a rented garden, called Burmans Farm at Shottery (52°11′29.59″N 1°44′6.4″W / 52.1915528°N 1.735111°W / 52.1915528; -1.735111) in Stratford-upon-Avon which was called Berryfields for the purposes of the programme although it was often described as a 'top secret location near Birmingham'
- Partly as a result of changes in the presenters, for the 2009 series the garden was relocated to Edgbaston in Birmingham. A playing-field was redeveloped and this garden was given the name Greenacre.
- In 2011, with the return of Monty Don, the base relocated to Don's own garden Long Meadow in Herefordshire.
