This makes a great gift for keen kitchen gardeners. The gardener in the series was a gardener in a real Victorian kitchen garden and shows exactly how they did it - you can pick up some really good hints and tips. You see the garden throughout the year, too, and it's easy on the eyes!
Throughout the series you see the transformation as the neglected walled kitchen garden at Chiltern Foliat (in Berkshire) is restored to its former glory as a working kitchen garden.
