Scotts Masterclass
With horticultural expert Melissa King
Welcome to Scotts Masterclass — a dedicated learning series created for gardeners who love understanding how things really work in the garden.
Hosted by horticultural expert Melissa King, each episode explores a different corner of garden science and technique, breaking down complex topics into clear, practical explanations you can put to use straight away.
Designed for passionate, curious gardeners, the Masterclass series feels calm, credible and instructional, with thoughtful visuals and expert guidance leading the way. It’s a step beyond quick tips — it’s gardening knowledge you can actually grow from.
Deepen Your Garden Knowledge
Explore the Soil Science Masterclass below, where Melissa breaks down the fundamentals of soil health — texture, structure, drainage and the vibrant microbial life beneath your plants. Soil isn’t just what your garden grows in; it’s a living ecosystem that fuels strong, resilient roots. Join Melissa as she takes you beneath the surface to help you make smarter choices in your garden at home.

EXPERT‑LED GARDEN EDUCATION
Each episode is anchored by Melissa King, bringing technical topics to life in a way that feels accessible, confident and grounded in real expertise. You’re not just told what to do — you’re shown why it works.
Through calm, considered explanations and hands‑on examples filmed in real garden environments, Melissa makes complex concepts easy to follow. Whether she’s unpacking the science behind soil behaviour, demonstrating why water behaves the way it does, or diagnosing subtle changes in plant health, her approach empowers you to build long‑lasting gardening skills, not just short‑term fixes.
You’ll come away not only knowing the steps — but understanding the principles behind them — so you can apply that knowledge confidently across your entire garden.
WHAT’S COMING UP IN GARDEN SCIENCE
