PAST Coproductions: GARDENS IN PERIL

Short Description

”Gardens without borders” is a series presented by professional gardener Alan Mason, appealing to both gardeners and non-gardeners. Alan Mason and his team set out to rescue endangered gardens throughout Europe. The range stretches from the war torn botanic garden at Sarajevo, to the once fabulous royal gardens of the Tsars in St. Petersburg ; a sub-tropical jungle of a garden on the west coast of Portugal, the derelict walled garden of a fairy-tale French chateau and a lost European garden in England.

This co-production aims to find out how gardening styles and methods are becoming cosmopolitan as gardeners adopt ideas and plants from other countries and combine them with their own methods and traditions.
