On Monday's show, at 7.15am on CBeebies, the Squirels make a mixtape for Duggee to remind him of their happy memories together.

<br />
From The Bishop’s Palace in Somerset to Pluscarden Abbey in the
Highlands of Scotland; from Cambridge University’s stunning Botanic
Garden to Alnwick Castle’s newly transformed garden in Northumberland;
from Scone Palace’s gardens of kings in Perthshire to Sudeley Castle’s
sacred connections in the Cotswolds, Alexander and Arit celebrate the
significance of gardens in the Easter story itself. They will get hands
on in these sacred places, meeting the custodians of these glorious
gardens to pick up gardening tips and discover the very special and
surprising spiritual significance of each place.<br />
<br />
Alexander Armstrong says:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I’ve always loved gardens. They’re
beautiful places to enjoy plants, flowers, fruits and nature’s changing
seasons. Most of all though, for me, they’re spiritual retreats from the
modern world. This is a dream programme for me, celebrating some of the
UK’s most sacred gardens and meeting the amazing people whose physical
and spiritual lives are intertwined in them.</blockquote>
