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.
Step back in time and learn how the Victorians grew pineapples in their greenhouses, and how they supplied freshly grown produce to the 'big house' every day of the year. Find out about Victorian seeds, and which heritage varieties are still worth growing today.
The DVD special features are a bit light: an interview with presenter Peter Thoday and a History File.
