Three of England's finest gardens. Simply extraordinary!
For every art or craft there are defining works. When the craft under consideration is gardening, one cannot deny the beauty and worldwide influence of the three extraordinary English gardens covered in this program: Hidcote Manor, Mottisfont Abbey, and Sissinghurst Castle. The coverage of each of these gardens includes information about the history, and original designers; explanations of the designs; details about planting, and interviews with the current head gardeners; all accompanied with gorgeous footage of these areas at their best. This video gives viewers the opportunity to learn from some of the world's most accomplished gardeners. The photography makes the most of the gardens, using such techniques as closeups, and aerial shots to add to the production values. Good color accuracy, composition, and sound, add to the technical quality. This program provides an entertaining and informative tour of three extraordinary gardens at a very reasonable price.
