The Influence of Romans - Glorious Gardens From Above - S01 EP5 - Gardening Show

[Music] britain are some of the finest gardens anywhere in the world for me it's about getting in amongst the wonderful plants that flourish in this country and sharing the passion of the people who tend them however there is another way to enjoy a garden and that's to get up above it i love ballooning because you get to see the world below in a whole new light from up here you get a real sense of how the garden sits in the landscape how the terrain and the climate has shaped it and i want you to share that experience with me [Music] i'm getting ready to float high high above the county blessed with some of the most stunning landscapes in britain today we're in sussex a county that's made up of chalky downlands forested wheels and some of the most heavily populated coastal areas sussex lies right to the south east coast boarded by hampshire and kent what an amazing view this is my chance to view wonderful sussex as i've never seen it before sussex is officially the sunniest county in england and that's why this part of sussex has some fantastic gardens today i'm dropping in on two magnificent gardens both of which have undergone a transformation this was the visitors car park the car park it was just concrete and tarmac that's amazing and they have the power to change the lives of the people who tend them when i came i ended up meeting my now fiance so he's a full-time gardener here in the gardens we'll be exploring the country's earliest formal garden and finding out how the romans transformed british gardening forever and of course i'll be lending a hand too looks like a hairnet mate [Music] sussex might be summit but here in the foothills of the south towns the land is deluged with over 40 inches of rain a year fortunately the chalk soil allows water to drain through it quickly meaning plants roots never get soggy and gardens can flourish none more so than the first garden i'm dropping in on [Music] west dean is renowned the world over as a showcase that can inspire any gardener and it lies seven miles north of chichester there's been an estate here since the 17th century but the 90 acres of garden and parkland we see today took shape at the start of the 19th century north of the manor house which is now a college almost half of the garden is devoted to arboretum it was planted in the 1830s and is filled with mature beach horse chestnut and cedar trees as well as roaded engines and azaleas i won't have time to take a stroll through it today but i know one place i'll definitely have a saunter just south of the arboretum is one of the garden's most remarkable features a 300 foot long edwardian purgler running across the wall it looks spectacular from up here i can't wait to see it close up when views from above westeen gardens really comes alive you can see the intense amount of care that goes into that productive garden the greenhouses the straight lines of vegetables the fiery borders and i just can't wait to get down there surprisingly the garden hasn't always looked this wonderful in 1987 a great storm hit the south of england with ferocious power it smashed and uprooted millions of trees westine had to be closed for a year just to recover [Music] i've been visiting westing gardens for the last 30 years and have seen them grow this garden speaks of horticultural excellence and it's not just in this beautiful productive vegetable garden the pergola the wild garden the arboretum the execution of excellence in this garden is outstanding it makes me tingle every single time i come because to see that level is wildly exciting and is a standard that we should hope to attain beauty excellence and magic [Music] but beauty excellence and magic don't happen in gardening by chance 23 years ago a couple arrived to inspire a bold restoration that transformed these 19th century gardens into a 21st century masterpiece garden supervisor sarah wayne arrived here with a good day from australia and a passion to make these gardens bloom again hi sarah hello christine how are you i'm very well thank you nice to see you and you too welcome to west dean oh great pleasure to be back now what are you doing there i'm tying in these tomatoes so that they scramble all the way up the wigwam and is this just one plant then no it's more than one it's three it's really just an experiment okay looks good it doesn't look good yeah can i give you your hands yeah sure tie in and and sort of got a knife yeah i've got a knife here some string great excellent okay so you're just doing standard timing yeah yeah just onto the structure or the string here so how did you actually get into garnier sarah well i suppose through my parents i'm australian we had quite a big garden my dad did the veg my mum did the flowers how did you get into the uk legally hopefully how did i came over in 1979 and i was lucky enough to get a job at kew gardens a job yeah great so had you trained in aussie ahead yes yeah i did a three-year diploma and how did you find queue i would say queue was like doing another three years of education because there are a lot of knowledgeable people there and suddenly enough it's also where i met my husband really yes jim sarah's all the half is ed gardner at west dean and he's also sarah's boss it's hot work standing around that ring so i thought i'd better bring you a cup of tea that's pretty kind of you hmm what i want to know since i've got you together do you squabble do we squabble daily yes daily but we always make up by the end of the day what's the vision for the you gardener you've got this level of excellence people come expecting it to look superb are you going to move it on are you going to you know develop that a strap line at one point was high class horticulture in a historic setting okay which we kind of felt was what we wanted to do really we've taken something which was rather tired and rather run down and made it into well i feel a bit embarrassing this but i think it is a bit of a showpiece now it is a short piece i think of westing i think of excellence well that's a nice compliment from an old pro like yourself i mean that nicely you mean old or pro and like the old pro i am i'm off to help syria in one of west dean's star attractions the victorian glass houses she's got a job for me that i used to do with an old bit of hosiery this is the melon house christine look at this lot they're great aren't they wow look at the quality of these leaves normally they look quite monkey they are spectacular sarah that's the right reaction christine wow now then come on i know you want me to help your time but being a shortie i'm gonna have to step up each other we're just going to support some of these fruit i used to use some tights or stockings in the old days right and as the fruit grew they actually expand with them so this is this looks like a hair net meat tell me about these fantastic greenhouses i mean it's an amazing range i can't believe for two minutes when you came to this garden they were in good nick no they hadn't had any money invested in them for a number of years and when we came 23 years ago they were in a state of dereliction and we were given the opportunity to renovate them all and how many do you have we have 13 13 glasshouses of different styles so we've got three binaries two fig houses three devoted to tomatoes we grow aubergines chilis most importantly and we have several display houses growing things like fuchsias ferns pelagoniums tropicals bromeliads you know you name it we grow it [Music] glasshouse houses like these at west dean didn't come cheap [Music] in the early 19th century glass had a huge tax imposed on its sale and in a double whammy you paid a property tax based on how many windows your home had it was attacks on lighting air in all but name [Music] by the 1850s those hated taxis had disappeared landowners grown rich from the industrial revolution and the expansion of the british empire had the wealth to build greenhouses and fill them with fashionable exotic plants or extend the growing season of our own fruit and vegetables with victorian innovation and engineering glass houses grew off larger and smaller a sir joseph paxton was built in the crystal palace in london victorian manufacturers were making plain and functional self-assembly glass glasshouses for the increasing demand of the rising middle classes whether you were growing an exotic pineapple in your glasshouse or a humble tomato in your greenhouse the victorians finally let the light shine through they are wonderful documents in a sense of the importance of late victorian horticulture and the work that was done by the pioneers of that time well it's such a treat and this is how we used to do it and that relationship between a person understanding not only the horticultural requirements but the engineering skills that brought it all together i mean gardeners are awesome beasts and i really believe it you know not only can we grow but we have to be able to control our environment we have to understand about ventilation we have to understand about heating we have to be able to maintain it we have to know about boiling we have to know about torque pressures and you're passing on those skills to younger gardeners it's a privilege to be able to work in this sort of environment i recognize that and also it's all a privilege to be able to hand those skills on it's one of the things i love to do cool let's see what we can do sarah's alright it's so important to pass down our gardening knowledge to the next generation so they can be inspired to leave their mark on our horticultural landscape [Music] and that's just what's happening over on the sussex coast in brighton all right folks unload the tools and we'll take it up to the site young volunteers for the sussex wildlife trust have been transforming this once neglected green space on the craven estate into a flourishing community garden to encourage local wildlife but even though it's wild it still needs a little taming from time to time we could open up quite a nice big area here um we'll then take some of the top soil off and we can use that as our area to plant the tray of flowers that i've got there the head man leading the youth ranges today is hugh morgan we carry out a wide variety of practical conservation tasks on sites around the city and that can be anything from gardening for wildlife what we're doing today to putting up door mouse boxes clearing out ponds improving pathways whatever really so a wide variety of activities this can come out the rose bay willow herb because that has a tendency to take over so they can be pulled pulled up as well [Music] hello uh okay i wouldn't i wouldn't worry about this a bit of old weed matting i think it'll probably be easier to work with it there rather than trying to pull it up we can cut into it and plant through it if we need to okay this is an area where it's sort of been overtaken by this sort of long rank grass that just takes over everything and no flowers can grow so we're cutting back the grass and clearing the top soil here so we can mix it up and plant some wildflowers which we've got sort of some native wildflower species it's really great fun the people are really nice it's just a fun thing to get out and do in the sunshine like this and there's also conservation work which is what i've always been into yeah it's really great fun i love it it's nice to see an area that the community is going to be able to use again because it just looked kind of like an overgrown mess when we arrived in the morning so it's really nice to see it really coming together by no means do all the volunteers come from a horticultural background in some cases the day job can even come in handy normally mobile hairdresser my hair clients are always quite surprised that i i do this on the side because it is something completely different to the beauty fashion industry mainly what i get out of it is just knowing that i'm i'm helping out really helping little nature reserves around brighton it's just quite a rewarding thing nice for the community it's benefiting lots of people some of the volunteers can remember what the wildlife garden looked like before all their hard work the air has really transformed since i've lived here for instance all the orchard growing the trees the wildlife areas over the last six years it's um massively transformed last job of the day is planting some wild flowers to attract those all-important bees and butterflies right fantastic effort today everybody it looks brilliant really really good i'm really pleased with what we've done on a very very hot day so thank you all very much it's so inspiring to see a new generation taking their first horticultural steps and just like at the craven estate sarah and jim have introduced to wild garden twistine it's a beautiful spot with sways of grasses cowslips and meadow flowers all attracting local wildlife [Music] the alliums in particular are loved by the butterflies alliums also known as ornamental onions are grown for their showy flower heads which come in a range of sizes [Music] colours vary but most range between purple lilac and white planted in the autumn they should pop up and bloom the following year but even when they've lost their flowers they're still a stunning architectural feature they look the best when they're planted throughout a border where they stick up like lollipops i'm meeting someone rather special here in the wild garden one of westeen's large team of volunteers so laura how long did you normally garden i first came here when i was a teenager and since then have been revisiting off and on pretty much all the time probably the slight rate when i was at university how's it changed for more troubling years hugely the first time i came is probably five years into when jim and sarah had arrived and started doing all the restoration work in the walled garden and then this part sort of the wild garden the spring garden sunken garden was all sort of ten years in they were really sort of pushing out and building up the garden it's just a complete transformation but just as people can transform a garden a garden can transform the lives of those who love it only a few years ago laura was a city high flyer in london i ended up doing a law degree first of all and came to the end of that and decided i didn't want to be a lawyer and didn't really have a plan b as such so tried out a few things and sort of by accident ending up in headhunting um which i certainly didn't envisage i was staying for sort of almost 10 years but those things happen time passes and you kind of do what you do and suddenly i sort of realized i don't think i would do this for the rest of my working life i'd always grown quite resentful of the whole whole travelling the city just being sort of crushed and just the busyness and people everywhere with the yearning for green spaces laura moved back to her sausage roots and the countryside revisiting childhood haunts like west steam provoked a strong reaction it was quite a guttural kind of feeling just instinctive i should be in these kinds of places not stuck in an office after that discovery laura began investigating the idea of becoming a volunteer gardener so how did you get to come here i was looking really to get some practical work experience and the first garden i wrote she was obviously here and asked her she'd possibly take me on you know she said yes do you think it's made you a better person um calmer i think it made me probably a truer version of myself i think i probably was trying to kind of live the city life and do the city thing when i was in london now i certainly think i'm a much happier person doing this than i could ever have been staying in london doing an office job it's been just a fantastic adventure and i hope it continues for many more years you see because gardening is not just about cultivating plants it's about cultivating people bring the two together they grow and they bloom absolutely right um i my experience has certainly proved that and i would urge anyone who's even thinking about it to make that step into it no it wasn't just plant knowledge you gained from this garden was it no um rather amazingly i met my now fiance here so he's a full-time gardener here in the gardens um when did you first meet well i saw him the first day and i said good morning and then we ended up going out on our first date here actually at the cafe for a tapas evening three weeks later three weeks he was in there pretty good and then yeah had the rest of says history we ended up yeah coming back and moving to chittister in january now is it just plants that turns you on in the garden no i think the wonderful thing here is the sort of backstory of the college which was once a fantastic country home but the last person who sort of lived here as resident was edward james who was hugely involved and very passionate about the arts in fact he was a major friend of darling and kind of all the surrealist painters and artists so you have this sort of imbued through and going to the college where you have some incredibly wacky and interesting pieces of art and sort of interior design and sort of things like the fiberglass trees which he left in the garden which are kind of his last stamp it's just amazing it kind of gives it that added quirkiness and interest to the whole thing westin has given me and many others so much pleasure over the years i want somehow to honor laura and the other volunteers for their hard work heaven forbid but if he was to leave and used to place a tribute here would it be a plant or would it be a piece of artwork i think i'd probably say a piece of artworks it would happily kind of link together the kind of history of the college and edward james's legacy and and the garden as well it'd be really lovely to combine the two with this in mind i've asked john private head of metalwork conservation here at west dean college to make a tribute honouring the work of the gardens volunteers i was really really pleased to be asked to make something for laura to give to the gardens and spent a bit of time racking my brains really about what i could make for her i walked out for a tea break and saw the weather vane on top of the clock tower outside and thought that's it i like the way she's walking forwards it shows her kind of busy and in motion i took that and then put it on the computer and got a silhouette and then i can stick it onto sheet copper and what i'm going to do is just roughly cut out the main shape if anyone knows laura they'll be able to recognize her [Music] just 10 miles southwest of west dean as the crow flies is another sussex garden which has undergone a transformation and from the sky the view is magnificent [Music] set high on a hill arundel castle simply commands the sussex landscape built at the end of the 11th century it's been the family home to the troops of norfolk and their ancestors for nearly a thousand years just across the road is another breathtaking building arundel cathedral but it's the castle gardens lying between these two magnificent buildings that i've come to see today [Music] like westin arundel has a sheltered and traditional kitchen garden and besides the glass houses boxed aged beds filled with bursts of hot color then tempered with cool [Music] this side of the garden is quite formal and then closed with shingle paths and hedging but as you head towards the chapel it becomes much more open and there's another garden i've particularly come to see this is the stunning collector earl's garden it's hard to imagine but only eight years ago this entire space was covered in concrete [Music] the duke of arundel's archivist john robinson is going to fill me in on how this magical garden came into existence so when was this amazing garden open john it was opened in 2008 and what was here before oh well this was the historic kitchen garden he was given up like so many of these gardens in country houses after the second world war and natalie this was the cup visitors car park the car park it was just concrete and tarmac there wasn't a tree or bush or anything in it crikey just the outside brick walls that's amazing hard surface throughout so what was the inspiration behind it well the history of the howard family here there's something we call the collector earl of arable in the early 17th century and he had a garden which we know a bit about because there are designs by inigo jones the great architect for gateways and pavilions and in the background of portraits you have glimpses through into the garden so on the basis of those few clues um it was decided to do a sort of recreation of that garden but it's imaginary really i mean so it's jacobian in style but how would you describe the layout of this garden well it's a formal garden because it's divided into enclosures by hedges and um the big pergola across the middle and then you've got very strong axes cross axes and the central axis and so on and what about the architecture i mean it's amazing architecture but what's the story behind that well it's partly buildings that we know existed but they would have been stone in or brick or whatever in the garden and the whole point about this it was all done in what's called green oak the thing about green oak is it's not it doesn't mature you know you cut it and you build it and then it goes this silvery gray color and this gives it a slightly zany naturalistic organic quality but you see it's incredibly theatrical yup yup just smacks italy yeah i'm on the assoula bella and i'm there on the northern italian lakes i'm looking at theater and drama and the heat of the sunshine it's italy on the south coast that was the inspiration i mean the collector i went to italy in 1610 and when he came back everybody sort of rather joked that he'd gone native he spoke it out and he liked italian food he had snails things like that oh you named his garden was all our italiano yes as they put it so things like these arms are an italian design i just think it's frankly truly amazing [Music] the collector earl's fascination with all things italiano predates the grand tour that young upper-class men of means undertook in the 18th and 19th centuries since then italian influences have been felt in art architecture and of course gardening but an earlier italian inversion has left its mark ii [Music] just a few miles west of chichester is fishborn roman palace home to the earliest formal garden in the country archaeologists first unearthed this site in the 1960s and as well as the wonderful mosaics on the inside they also discovered how the palace garden was laid out and guess what those romans were very green fingered as fishbone's head of learning katrina burton explains the romans introduced gardening people in the iron age wouldn't have gardened for aesthetic pleasure the romans however changed all that and they planted massive formal gardens using plants like this box hedge actually um to really make a statement about the fact that they were changing the landscape they had this control over nature and that's something that would have been completely alien to those iron age britons living here before the romans arrived we know these hedges were planted in this way because of the archaeological evidence because those original excavations uncovered the bedding trenches for these particular hedges so we know they were in this really ornate geometric pattern that you see down here so it's the differences in the colours of the soil which really indicated that there was something quite special about this garden it's thought the palace was inhabited by someone of high rank called toggy dogness it was a celt loyal to the roman emperor built on four sides around the central garden the site covered an area as big as two football pitches we know that he had these enormous gardens he's very impressive gardens and he would have taken a large number of slaves just to keep them up to scratch and we imagine that toggy dubness was meeting very important people and he was really showing off his wealth his status why the entrance way by people coming through these gardens as they came up to meet him in the audience chamber this is one of the tools they would have used here in the roman gardens we've got a pair of replica iron shears and these would have been used for trimming the hedges and you can imagine trying to keep all these hedges under control here at fishbourne would have required an army of slaves but these invaders to our shores didn't come alone the romans brought new and exciting plants here from across the whole roman empire shifting clear plant pots across the english channel things like marigolds and roses the things you'd expect to see in an english country garden actually were brought in by the romans nearly 2 000 years ago but an army marches on its stomach not how prettily the garden grows the romans brought with them a wide range of edible vegetables things that we take for granted nowadays things like garlic and we've got some elephant garlic here cucumbers walnuts rosemary a lot of our herbs the romans also brought in pears and apples a lot of the fruits that we're so used to seeing in our orchards we know that the soft fruits they also tried but some of them particularly things like olives of course didn't grow so well in this climate so it was the hardier varieties that survived right through to the present day but what about us poor brits where were we while these fancy romans were gorging themselves on their mediterranean diet people in the iron age living around here would be reliant on cereal crops they'd be growing wheat and barley using it to make potage and bread they'd be making use of wild vegetables wild fruits like these flatberries here but of course you'd be very reliant on what was available at what time of year and sometimes like these blackberries the crop wouldn't necessarily have come out as well as you'd expected for the romans a garden wasn't just for growing food it was an important outdoor pharmacy all manner of medical ailments had a roman garden cure even if today some sound a little far-fetched in fact it's difficult to imagine what our traditional british gardens would have looked like if it wasn't for those italian men in togas over the last 2000 years we can see how their both culinary and horticultural legacy has stayed with us and actually has influenced british cooking and british gardening even today here we go over at tarantula castle we seem to have slipped back in time too as a historical jousting tournament is taking place on the castle grounds i'm not sure what medieval gardener's got up to hopefully not justin i'm no good on a horse i'm off to meet arundel's head gardener martin duncan in the kitchen garden hi martin oh hello christine what are you up to ah a bit of apple pruning summer pruning okay very important for the apples at this time of year it also exposes apple to the sun as well and that ripens the fruit so and this is something that people get confused about isn't it because the restricted form so on the the cordons the espaliers the fans those that are smaller in size what we're trying to do is change all this vegetative growth into fruiting wood yeah but you see winter pruning is all about regeneration of water wood and and getting rid of canker and all sorts just two different pruning types isn't it and if if there's one which is sort of eight centimeters or eight inches long like one over here we can leave it that's it because that's got the fruit yeah well this is an interesting variety isn't it it's a stunning apple called peas good non-such great name one apple of these you can do a whole apple crumble or one of those baked ones because they reach at least four times that size many would consider an apple the quintessential british fruit food writer edward bunyard wrote in 1929 let the frenchman have his pair the italianist fig but for us the apple training trees against a wall or a fence is a perfect space-saving way of growing apples if you only have a small garden there are over 2 000 apple varieties to choose from and our climate is perfect for growing them most of the apple production in britain is limited to a dozen or so varieties you see in the supermarket so why not ring the changes and pick a heritage variety as a gardener i love apple trees in the spring when they're full of blossom but i also love to eat the fruit too a baked apple is where you take the center out and you fill it with sultanas and then you put a blob of butter then a blob of marmalade and you cook them and the marmalade caramelizes on this little top it's delicious with lashings a thick yellow custard that sounds delicious oh it's the best way to eat apples it is and especially pick fresh from the tree oh yeah we're just so lucky here you know we've got a tropical area we've got an italianate area a stumpery and we've got a stunning cut flower garden and this lovely organic kitchen garden so there's a surprise around every corner and one of the new surprises visitors can discover is the stone prey trees have always had a place in our gardens but trust the victorians to turn that idea on its head a stomper is an arrangement of dead tree roots placed upside down or on their side this dump is only a couple of years old and in a very modern touch has been adorned by bright and exotic plants but the first ever stone prayer is much darker and foreboding place this is the original stomper built at middle of grange in staffordshire in 1856 it's both strange and beautiful at the same time it's looked after by gardener paul walton it's very eerie prehistoric a bit scary almost you know and there you just want to see this at victorian times after all you come around the corner and you've got this almost grotesque prehistoric look to it you can almost imagine the ladies with the posh rocks and snagging the dresses on some of the stumps i imagine they'd be quite shocked at what they saw and almost seen what on earth have you done here seen as victorian oddities stompers could be described as gothic or they may have been inspired by the romantic movement which emphasized the beauty of nature but there were some very practical reasons for their existence too during victorian times they commissioned quite a few plant hunters to go overseas the plants were brought over then the areas were built to house the plants and this fabulous stump tree is ideal for fear it creates little pockets planting them and showing them off to create an area which worked really well for that kind of plant was brilliant pull that barrier out bob right rob take your end around that stump there despite the trees being dead a stump pretty still needs a lot of tlc right now for getting them we can't get any machinery here neither so it is it's pretty much manpower what i would do robert maybe sit that down there a little bit low until i get them two spikes up what we want to do is create this canopy coming over really and i feel like you're being closed a bit bit daunting almost when you walk through this bit it's all right that isn't looking too bad now you come through here now got the height there there's other areas we've still got to do but this is quite an open area i'm really pleased that we've got that sorted today so brilliant what was once stolen lifeless has been turned into something vibrant and alive now that is a transformation basha tarantal castle another other worldly feature awaits me at the collector earl's garden this is a version of oberon's palace a fantastic spectacle designed by indigo jones for prince henry's entertainment in 1611. oberon was the king of the fairies in medieval and renaissance literature and martin thinks i might be royally entertained by what's inside it this is an amazing building isn't it it is shell this is all made out of muscle shells that is stunning all pasted on but looking as urns look quite quite stunning i mean beautiful but what's really exciting yeah is let me show you this if you would like to turn this right just slowly and see what happens might maybe a little bit quicker you're worried no no no no no oh [Music] oh [Music] look at that wow it's fantastic isn't it oh what i mean what do you know why i wear a hat inside i mean i mean what a party piece cheese and even though aaronville castle is a thousand years old a garden is a constantly evolving thing so whether you simply plant a new herbaceous border or transform an ugly car park into a jacobean themed vista a garden is right for change back at westin you can really appreciate the scale and dimensions of the garden from above especially the edward impergla but i want to take a closer look the 300-foot pergola was designed by architect and gardener harold peto in 1912 it's a wonderful structure which unites great planting and architecture as you look through it it frames the parkland as a living landscape painting i thought it looked fantastic from the skies i think it's even better on the ground [Music] former high flyer laura gave up a career in the city to volunteer at west dean and it's changed her life to thank her and all the other garden volunteers have organised a tribute to mark all their hard work so laura i thought it would be quite nice to leave something here that you might be able to look up to in years to come and enjoy so what do you think [Applause] the key thing is do you recognize the shape of the person it looks vaguely familiar yeah yeah for sure because it's you yeah it's all there the garden the history yeah the people and there's plants hiding in the wheelbarrow yes and i've seen someone say joyfully pushing a wheelbarrow you see now the only job is that it's gotta go up there oh god do i have to climb up the wall because where are you jim i think i think it's your job can you tell me when no no no no no i thought about the door come back the door yeah right lovely lovely now what do you think of that that looks great i believe i've been immortalized in metal absolutely yes well i think you've done this plenty of job and i think that'll look lovely there oh yeah we could leave in there very long [Music] i think laura's weather then is a very appropriate symbol of historian connection to westin but it does remind me that good flying weather is few and far between [Music] it's been such a treat to see these sussex gardens from advantage in the sky and what i can see is the changes here at west eu aaronwood castle even the craven estate community garden have not only transformed the gardens but they've changed the lives of the people who care for them sometimes you need to see things from a whole new perspective to truly understand them [Music] you
