This DVD contains over 60 minutes of stunning video featuring five English gardens. *** Westonbirt, the National Arboretum, a world-renowned showcase for over 18,000 trees and shrubs. Best known for amazing autumnal colour, but a magical place at any time of the year. *** Bourton House, a fine example of a Cotswold manor, perfectly complemented by a garden that combines imaginative topiary with colourful herbaceous borders. Highly designed, an art lover's garden. *** Cothay Manor in Somerset, with its labyrinth-like enclosed garden 'rooms' and painterly colours, has a fairytale atmosphere. The secret garden for lovers and dreamers. *** Deep in Hardy's pastoral Dorset, the village of Moreton is home to the butterfly haven that is Moreton Gardens and, more unexpectedly, the final resting place for Lawrence of Arabia. *** Few gardens have such a dramatic location as Cornwall's Trebah. This subtropical ravine garden descends to a gorgeous private beach on the Helford River and has a history as exuberant as its planting. *** Recorded across the seasons, these films have appeal to gardeners and non-gardeners alike. Whilst the flora and fauna take centre stage, you will also hear some fantastic stories and meet the people behind the gardens. *** These films are taken from the Heart of a Garden, a book & DVD featuring 16 gardens from across the South West.
