Westonbirt, the National Arboretum, is using a method to grow new plants from some of the collection's oldest and rarest rhododendrons.

The technique, known as air layering, tricks the plants into growing new roots from their branches. The roots produced are often stronger than those grown from cuttings because they have the live plant for support.

Tickets saving visitors to the Moreton-in-Marsh Show pounds this summer are now on sale! Buying a family ticket before Show day could save 2 adults and 2 children £7 for example.
