In the heart of London, not everyone has the luxury of outdoor space. But a lack of open space doesn't mean you cannot add a touch of nature to your home. Gardener's World icon Monty Don has found a solution to this when he was at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

On the second day of the British horticultural event on the grounds of Royal Hospital Chelsea, Monty and co-presenter Arit Anderson visited the Best Balcony and Container winners at Serpentine Way to show the amazing designs from some of the winners.

Standing inside the little garden designed by Katerina Kantalis, the 70-year-old said: "There is one incredible design tip, which works for people who always wonder, if you have a small space, put something big in it, and make it seem bigger. That central piece holds all these little bits together."

Monty was referring to the large plant pot at the corner of the exhibit balcony garden, which was surrounded by many more small flower pots.

Arit commented: "It is so important, it is only five by two metres, and this won Best Balcony and Container, and I can see why - attention to detail."

Monty then talked to Dragons' Den judge Deborah Meaden to find out more about the garden in her Somerset house. She said: "It was a farm, when we bought it, it really didnt' have a garden - 26 acres and the house is in the middle of it. It is very wild at the edges so we are keen on wildlife in. We have lots of wildlife, birds but as you get closer to the house, it starts becoming more cultivated."

The TV personality, who runs a multimillion-pound family holiday business, said business people would benefit from gardening, and she said she is an example of it.

"In this busy world where you do have to have an organised mind, I know I have a lot going on, to start your day well. This is what gardening does for me. The other thing about gardening is that, in business, people can get very impatient and anxious. I can shout at those plants as much as I like, they are not growing any faster.

"It teaches patiene and resilience and long termism. I think gardening is a brilliant thing for business."
