Great British Gardens: Season by Season with Carol Klein

The plantswoman and broadcaster visits more outstanding gardens across the UK and meets the people who look after them, beginning at Arundel Castle in West Sussex. Joining head gardener Martin Duncan and his team, Carol helps to pollinate the peach trees, takes a lesson in posy-making and highlights some of the most interesting and beautiful plant specimens there.

The horticulturist visits Coton Manor in Northamptonshire, revealing how Susie Pasley-Tyler transformed the gardens into an exhibition of creative and dramatic planting.

Carol visits Bressingham Gardens in Norfolk, home of the Bloom dynasty of Norfolk horticulturists who introduced British gardeners to a wealth of plants and devised a revolutionary way to display them. Carol spends time with Adrian Bloom, whose ethos is to introduce the very best examples of plants that will grace even a tiny garden.

Carol visits the garden of 16th-century manor house Wollerton Old Hall in Shropshire, a beautiful and intricate four-acre oasis in the English garden tradition. With its traditional craftsmanship, sympathetic architecture, elegant topiary and hedges, and deep borders, it looks like it's been here for 100 years, but owners Lesley and John only bought the property in 1983, and since then have set about recapturing the spirit and quality of a bygone era.
