The DVD The Victorian Kitchen Garden

[KMARKSnr]

Hi all,
      I was wondering if anyone here has seen or heard of this dvd,or seen the series on tv ?
       If so,is the dvd worth buying? I`ve found a source to purchase it brand new for £24-.

            Regards,
                   Mark.

I've read the book, and found it well worthwhile. Of course, you always get more detail in the book; I don't know what the series was like.

[calendula]

the series was lovely and the title says it all - it takes you through a month by month journey and the title says it all

I would think the books can still be found, check out your local library and this will give you a clue as to whether it is something you would like

Buy the CD? Absolutely! So many good things about it I wouldn't know where to start ::)
Found the book in Oxfam for £1.99 :)

It`s wonderful :) Harry Dodson was as kind and gentle,not to mention very wise,in reality as he came over in the series.

I was talking about it to SS the other day-the slightly sad thing as that the BBC arranged for so much renovation that when the series ended Harry was left with a sort of White Elephant-he was getting on a bit and there was so much to look after.

 ;D ;D

Great news Mark! My favourite bit (I think I might have mentioned it here before somewhere, sorry) is when Harry describes his work with the peach trees. He said "...when the leaves are the size of a mouses ear..." the assumption being that everyone knows what size that is! Priceless!

Enjoy!

;)

I have the book and the DVD. Harry is a legend! I love the way he talks really slowly.

Does anyone know what happened to the garden? Is it still there? Is it open to the public.
I'd pay money to see it.
