Sussex
Horticulturist Christine Walkden explores gardens and countryside from a hot air balloon. Christine takes to the skies above Sussex and drops in at West Dean Garden.
Christine Walkden takes to the skies above Sussex. She drops in at West Dean Garden to see the fruits of a 20-year labour of love and meets Laura, who found a new lease of life there. At Arundel Castle Gardens, she is astonished by the transformation of a former car park into a spectacular Italian garden. And we discover what the Romans did for British gardens.
