Monty Don claims a garden 'doesn't need a single plant in it'
Monty Don has ruffled feathers by claiming that a garden doesn't need to have plants in. The gardening guru, 70, said that some of the most famous gardens in the world don't contain a single plant. Writing in his column for Gardeners' World, he said: 'A garden can be anything you want it to be, even if - and I know that this is heresy to many people - it does not include a single plant.' The beloved presenter pointed to the famous Stowe garden created by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, who is widely considered Britain's greatest gardener, in the late 18th century. Filled with monuments, Brown's gardens 'did not involve any particular interest in the specific plants used,' Monty explained. He also evoked the home roof garden of lauded Mexican architect Luis Barragán, which Monty visited, adding: 'It consisted of pink-painted walls, terracotta walls and nothing else save the sky - which Barragan insisted was an essential part of the garden.' While Monty himself appears to cherish plants of all varieties - his own garden is filled with numerous different species - Monty appears not to favour one type of gardening over any other. He said: 'We in Britain tend to have such a fixed idea of what a 'good' garden might look like. 'I have a garden happily filled to overflowing with plants. I love the physical process of raising and tending plants, but I also love visiting gardens that explore all the subconscious and spiritual possibilities that gardens can evoke and enrich.' On the subject of plants, the horticulturalist has previously urged dog owners to be 'sensible' about the varieties which could harm their pets. He made the comments earlier this year, as he prepared to unveil his dog-friendly garden at the Chelsea Flower Show. Monty teamed up with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) for his first - and 'I hope my last' - garden at Chelsea filled with features for dogs including a lawn, water to wallow in and trees to cast shade. Don defended the inclusion of plants that can be toxic to dogs in the garden, such as alliums and foxgloves, saying they were blooms he had alongside his pets without problems in his own garden. The RHS and Radio 2 dog garden, which was not be judged, was to be relocated to nearby Battersea Dogs & Cats Home after the world-famous event at the Chelsea Hospital, west London. Monty said they would remove any plants the charity did not want to have as part of the planting. The horticulturalist, who has presented on Chelsea since 1990 and has covered the show for the BBC without a break for more than a decade, also said creating the garden had been a 'humbling' process that made him 'hugely' respect designers and makers of gardens at RHS Chelsea. Speaking onsite, he said: 'It doesn't matter what kind of garden or how good or bad it is, it's an almost unimaginable amount of work because of the detail you have to attend to.' He added that he was looking forward to getting back to presenting coverage after his stint as a designer, which he described as 'moonlighting'. 'I now have real insight into the whole process. I didn't know I needed that and I do, it's humbling.' Don, who was originally approached by the RHS to design a dog-friendly garden, said he did not want the project, created with horticulturalist Jamie Butterworth, to have any message except for being about dogs. 'I wanted to see a garden at Chelsea that didn't have a message, that didn't set itself in an exotic situation, was absolutely set fair and square in 2025 in England and that was full of plants that either I did have or everybody could buy from their local garden centre, and with trees or shrubs that were native or long adapted to this country.' The lawn was central to the plot, surrounded by planting which can create shifting paths for dogs to take around the garden, and a large open-fronted 'dog house' with an old sofa for the animals to retreat to. The garden also featured long meadow grass for dogs to lie in, while Radio 2 presenter Jo Wiley suggested an area of water for dogs to wallow in, based on experience with her pets, Don said. There was a playfulness to the garden, with use of dogwood, round-headed alliums evoking balls dogs love to play with, and terracotta pots have been created with pawprints of Don's dog Ned who is regularly be seen following him around his garden on Gardeners' World. But while the lawn was created to look like it had been used by dogs and people, the team have stopped short of having holes dug in it or 'pee rings'. And Don said: 'There are plants in the garden that are technically poisonous to dogs. 'However, there are no plants that I don't have in my own garden and I've always had dogs. 'My view on this is actually the main plant I worry about is yew and we don't have that in the garden. 'In my experience dogs are sensible and owners are sensible.' Don added: 'We have a brief to make a beautiful garden for Chelsea. The only dogs that are going to be allowed on here are mine or others specifically invited and on a lead and under control. 'When it goes to Battersea it will not have any plants Battersea doesn't want to be there, we will remove any that they feel has any toxicity to their dogs,' he said. 'We're not saying these are plants that are perfectly safe, what are you making a fuss about? What I am saying is in my experience I've not had any problems with these plants, and I've had dogs for the last 65 years.' Many everyday activities from cutting with knives in the kitchen to driving a car or crossing the road were more dangerous than these plants were to dogs, he said. And he added: 'Just be sensible, don't get hysterical, but at the same time don't dismiss it.' He also said dog owners who are keen gardeners should not expect a perfect lawn because 'that's not compatible with dogs', and encouraged those who did not want their animals to be crashing through the flower beds to create low fences or hedging on borders or corners to stop them. An RHS spokesperson said the dog garden was 'primarily designed to bring joy and delight'. 'However, as RHS Chelsea is also a great place to inspire and educate, with some people perhaps not realising that a number of common garden plants could be harmful to dogs if eaten, the RHS and Monty are encouraging people to be aware, but also to be sensible, about dogs in their gardens at home. 'The garden raises awareness to keep an eye on pets amongst plants. Don't let them eat or dig up plants in borders and, as with anything, if you see them eating something in the garden and you see changes in behaviours or are worried or have doubts, call the vets.' They added: 'The garden will live on at Battersea, where experts from the charity will carefully select dog-friendly, non-toxic plants to live on where rescue dogs can enjoy them for years to come.'

The champions are set to be honoured with a Downing Street reception today followed by a victory parade through London tomorrow. But they could be a little worse for wear this morning after a boozy bash that was going strong way beyond 4am. The Lionesses, manager and staff had filed off the coach clutching the trophy and glasses of wine before being were met with roars from their loved-ones, who were waiting to greet them at the team hotel. Sarina Wiegman and her captain Leah Williamson cut a celebratory cake before the dancing began in wild scenes shared on social media.

The England team celebrated long into the night at an after party in Switzerland, where players joined family and friends to let their hair down. Ella Toone sang karaoke as England manager Sarina Wiegman and captain Leah Williamson cut a celebratory cake together. After the match Prince William and Charlotte penned a personal note to the team, marking the first time the Princess has ever signed off an official message.

There was non-stop applause in her home town of South Ockendon as fans saw the Arsenal forward step through a guard of honour to pick up her award. Sir Keir was the first to congratulate England on their win - posting on X: 'Champions! Congratulations Lionesses - what a team. What a game. What drama. 'You dug deep when it mattered most and you've made the nation proud. History makers.'

'For more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant 'football's coming home'. 'As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true. 'For this, you have my whole family's warmest appreciation and admiration. 'More than that, though, you have shown through your example over past weeks that there are no setbacks so tough that defeat cannot be transformed into victory, even as the final whistle looms. 'Well done, Lionesses. The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can!' William and Charlotte were pictured in Switzerland as the royal family led the nation in wishing good luck to England's Lionesses.

In a show of support ahead of the final, the Band of the Grenadier Guards performed Three Lions on the Buckingham Palace forecourt, while the royal family's official X account posted: 'Wishing the very best of luck to the @Lionesses in the Women's Euro Final this evening.' Defender Lucy Bronze shocked fans by revealing she played the entire Women's Euro 2025 tournament with a fractured tibia — an injury she had kept secret until after the final. The 33-year-old was taken off at half-time in extra time during Sunday's final, which ended 1-1 before England beat Spain 3-1 on penalties in Basel. But when asked about the new knee injury she picked up during the game, Bronze casually disclosed that she had already been playing through far worse. 'I have actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia,' she told BBC Sport. 'And then I have hurt my knee on my other leg. 'That's why I got a lot of praise from the girls after the Sweden game, as I've been in a lot of pain. If that's what it takes to play for England, that's what I'll do. Very painful.' The previously undisclosed injury sparked an outpouring of disbelief and admiration across social media on Sunday night. Joe Bunney uploaded a post to social media today which he captioned 'Big day ahead. Redemption time. Come on girls' in reference to the team's nailbiting loss to Spain in the 2023 World Cup Final. Champions! Congratulations @Lionesses — what a team. What a game. What drama. You dug deep when it mattered most and you've made the nation proud.

Downing Street also shared in the football fever as it decked outs its railing with bunting and displayed the flag of St George in its windows. Number 10 said: 'Good luck today, Lionesses. Let's bring it home.'

Life's most unmissable moments from getting your first job to driving a car, survey reveals
LIFE'S biggest moments you'll never forget include holding your newborn, seeing your child's first steps – and getting the keys to your first home, according to new research. The study, conducted across the UK, revealed the memories Brits treasure most – with events like driving solo, falling in love, and a child's first day at school all ranking high. 4 4 4 The poll of 2,000 adults also found people in the UK experience around five unforgettable moments each year. Saying goodbye to a loved one and hearing a child say their first words also made the top 25. Other standout moments include passing exams, learning to ride a bike, and being told 'I love you' for the very first time. "These simple yet powerful experiences often stay with us for life. The research was commissioned by Samsung to celebrate the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7 – its slimmest foldable phone yet, built for capturing life's biggest (and smallest) memories. As part of the campaign, the tech giant released a touching poem, Life Unfolds Fast, written by Georgie Jones and narrated by Martin Kemp. The accompanying film showcases real-life moments from people of all walks of life – and intimate snapshots from Martin's own family history. Martin Kemp said: 'Some of my life's greatest memories are those simple moments at home – playing with my kids in the garden, holding Harley and Roman as babies, and singing with my wife in the car. 'These are moments that truly define our lives. 'Sharing these personal glimpses allows people to see how small, intimate moments become the big memories we want to go back to over again.' / The majority of adults (76 per cent) said unforgettable experiences shape who we are, while 85 per cent regularly look back at special memories on their phones. Whether it's to lift their mood, reflect on happy times, or share with loved ones, phones have become the modern memory box. In fact, 60 per cent said their digital memories are just as precious as physical keepsakes like photo albums or letters. But it's not all picture-perfect. Nearly half of those surveyed admitted they worry about forgetting key life events. For 46 per cent, the biggest concern is losing memories involving loved ones – such as family milestones or meaningful conversations. That's why so many turn to their phones, with 41 per cent using photos and videos to hold onto those treasured experiences. However, 49 per cent confessed they feel anxious when their phone storage gets full, fearing they might miss capturing something important. The average Brit replays special videos or looks at meaningful photos about four times a month. And some are proper memory collectors – with one in eight claiming to have more than 10 hours of footage saved on their phone. Looking ahead, the most anticipated future milestone is seeing someone close to them achieve something they've worked hard for – from graduating to landing a dream job. Annika Bizon from Samsung said: 'Our research shows that over 40 per cent of us take photos and videos for the sole purpose to not forget our best memories. 'It allows you to capture and revisit the memories you never want to forget, feeling their warmth and emotion time and time again.' The campaign encourages people to reflect on their own milestones – big or small – and not to let life's most precious moments pass unnoticed. Because sometimes, it's not just the big wins we remember most – but the quiet, everyday moments that unfold in between. TOP 25 UNMISSABLE MOMENTS: 1. Holding your newborn baby for the first time 2. Watching your baby take their first steps 3. Holding the keys to your first home for the first time 4. The last goodbye to a loved one 5. Your child's first day of school 6. Falling in love for the first time 7. Witnessing a child's first words 8. Driving a car on your own for the first time 9. Being told 'I love you' and saying it back 10. Being proposed to - or proposing to someone 11. Seeing your family all together in one place 12. Listening to your baby's heartbeat during a pregnancy scan 13. Watching someone you love achieve something they've worked hard for 14. Seeing the Northern Lights or witnessing a rare natural phenomenon 15. Graduating from school or university 16. Reaching a goal you've worked towards for years 17. Watching a child in your life perform in a school play 18. Hugging / being reunited with someone you haven't seen in years 19. Seeing a loved one return home safely after time away 20. Getting your first job offer 21. Walking out of work on your last day before retirement 22. Bringing a new pet home and welcoming it into the family 23. Watching your favourite sports team win in a big match 24. Completing something you never thought you could do (e.g. a marathon) 25. Saying goodbye to your pet 4
