1,500 plants given to University's botanic garden

More than 1,500 plants used in the BBC Gardeners World live shows have been re-planted at The University of Leicester.

Around 20 staff and student volunteers spent three days moving them into the vacant borders of the university's 16-acre botanic gardens on Glebe Road.

They were donated by the presenter Nick Bailey, after he produced a 'show garden' for a live event in Birmingham earlier this month.
