Are renters neglecting the country's gardens?

The nation's gardens are increasingly being neglected as more people rent, according to the Royal Horticultural Society.

Gardener Danny Clarke has told 5 live "a lot of front gardens are untended" but gardening is a "very, very simple thing to do".

Danny, who is known as 'the Instant Gardener', said that just doing "little bits and pieces" to a garden might leave you with a feeling you can maintain your outside spaces.

The RHS conducted a survey which found that one in three front gardens have no plants growing in them and three times as many have been paved over compared to a decade ago.
