6. Episode 6 (2013)

As Autumn arrives colder days begin to creep into Clondeglass. The tops of the trees seem to catch fire with autumnal colour, summer blooms decay but others are just coming into their prime. To catch a glimpse of an Autumn garden in its prime, Dermot pays a visit to his friend Ian McDonald's dreamy Bay Garden in Wexford. Some of Ian's planting mirrors that of Clondeglass. Back in his garden, there's a wonderful abundance of apples - Dermot makes a delicious Gardener's Chutney that will keep for several months. At the little potting sheds, Dermot is disappointed with progress; his 'shed to extravagant pavilion' project is way behind. The builder is putting it down to bad weather. To raise money for these projects Dermot needs to work on gardening tours. October's trip takes him to the stunning Borromean Islands in Lake Maggiore in Northern Italy.
