Am not a gardener but this series is mesmerising. I won't give to much away but it charts the restoration of a large garden by a gentlemen who served his apprenticeship when young. I too served an apprenticeship and wish such a programme had been created for my old company. The parallels between this trade and mine are many although different disciplines (I was a Lens and Prism Maker) I guess a lot of trades have vanished. The narrator is a lecturer in horticulture and explains the use of old tools and equipment as well as the lay out of the garden while the gardener puts in to practise the actual skills. The two disk DVD explains more. I like the way they explain and build glass cloches and restore the green houses but wait till you see the buzy bees and there new home! Its priceless!! Well worth a look for both the expert gardener and complete ignoramus like me!
