Heather Cottage and Old Birmingham Road
Series following people's attempts to have their work accepted into the National Gardens Scheme. Featuring Devon and Worcestershire.
Series which follows people's attempts to have their gardens accepted into the demanding National Gardens Scheme. Heather Cottage, in the middle of Devon's Dartmoor National Park, is home to Chat and Nicky Chatterjee. Chat and Nicky have worked hard harnessing what their environment has to offer, creating a piece of tailored nature. Most of this moorland garden is wild. There is a large area of lawn, a small lake with a path around it, bridges that cross the streams, a vegetable patch and an unruly paddock.
In Worcestershire, Old Birmingham Road is an inspirational organic garden that husband and wife team Bruce Heideman and Sue James are proud is almost completely self-sufficient. This developing organic garden has a mix of traditional and modern planting. A winding path on a gentle slope leads you from the upper garden with its raised koi pond to the large fruit and vegetable garden.
Chat and Nicky have left their vegetable garden go to rack and ruin and they have a very rickety bridge that could be dangerous - what can Carol suggest? Meanwhile, Bruce and Sue in Worcestershire have recently created a secret garden which is incredibly immature - even with Carol's help, will it be ready in time?
