- Title: The 20th Century Garden
- Date: 6th January 2000
- Summary: A three part series telling the story, through testimony and archive footage, of the development and creation of the 20th Century British back garden, its trends, fashions and influences.
- Description:The changing face of the British garden over the past 100 years - from declining Victorian country estates, through the wartime dig for victory and a '70s gnome craze, to Ground Force in the '90s - is unravelled in a new three-part series The Twentieth Century Garden. The series starts with the Golden Age of country house gardens and charts their decline after the Great War. It follows the last of the great plant hunters, Frank Kingdon-Ward, in his search for rhododendrons in the Far East, the development of the Chelsea Flower Show after its launch in 1912 and two sisters whose father made a unique home-made fertiliser brewed in a very special place - the 'Bumby Hole'.
