Renowned horticulturist Carol Klein embarks on another season-by-season tour, visiting some of Great Britain’s favourite and most remarkable gardens, throughout a whole year.

Each episode explores one inspiring garden, from the epic splendour of Arundel Castle Gardens, to the minutely tended borders of Coton Manor, and Wollerton Old Hall Gardens. Also featured is the pioneering plantsmanship at Bressingham Hall, Beth Chatto Gardens, two jewels in the crown of Wales’s horticultural heritage, and more. Sharing her extensive knowledge, Carol meets the people who care for them and learns the secrets of some of Britain’s most treasured outdoor spaces.

This week, in the second episode of the series, Carol visits the garden of Coton Manor, located in the peaceful Northamptonshire countryside. It was an inheritance that might have intimidated many. When Londoner Susie Pasley-Tyler’s mother-in-law died in 1990, she suddenly found herself in charge of a 17th century manor and ten acres of gardens, with almost no gardening experience at all.

This programme tells the story of how one gardener met such a challenge, gradually transforming the garden into an exhibition of creative and dramatic planting schemes that keep on going, all year round.
