DVD Description
This is a must for all gardening and Gardeners’ World fans.
Geoff Hamilton is renowned as a gardening legend. The much-loved gardener was the longest serving presenter of Gardeners' World and was one of the first to start advocating organic methods of gardening. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Gardeners’ World, this DVD collection brings together three of his most popular TV series - The Cottage Garden, The Paradise Garden and The Ornamental Kitchen Garden.
In The Cottage Garden, Hamilton shows how easy and economical cottage gardening can be. In his pursuit to uncover the history of the cottage garden, Hamilton travels the country examining the methods developed by gardeners over the years.
In his last ever series, The Paradise Garden, Hamilton reveals his hints and tips for creating and planting a secluded garden; a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The six-part series shows how to use scent and colours in the garden, as well as looking at water features and how to lure desirable wildlife into your outdoor paradise.
Available for the first time on DVD, The Ornamental Kitchen Garden is an engaging series giving practical advice on constructing a modern kitchen garden, without compromising its looks. The Ornamental Kitchen Garden provides essential insight on plant selection and locations, planting schedules, harvesting times, soil type, drainage, crop rotation and composting.

These DVDs were exactly what I was looking for being a new gardener. Geoff Hamilton can inspire anyone to start gardening or go on and explore new species. There are step by step instructions on almost all matters from planting, propagating, pruning, composting, creating a cottage garden, preparing a new garden from scratch. I wish there were more of these DVDs.

Geoff Hamilton was THE architypal gardener. His easy-natured approach and love of traditional gardening methods have stood the test of time, and always will do. The 3 dvd's are beautifully filmed, wonderfully atmospheric and thoroughly informative. Geoff creates some stunning gardens and, along the way, meets several other gardeners (I must mention old George in "Cottage Gardens" - a hero of mine) and this adds to the flavour of the series, and should inspire anyone pick up a fork and get cracking.
Buy it - it's a wonderful way to spend an evening in front of the telly.

It's great to have these three series available on disc. Geoff inspired so many people to put more thought into their gardening. I was privileged to be hired to do the weaving scene in the Cottage Gardens video and saw at first hand the meticulous work that went into these projects.
