  • サマリー

  • On this episode of Dear Gardener, host Ben Dark explores the legacy and afterlife of gardens. The starting points are: a Laburnum safari through Østerbro, a fence-climb into an abandoned garden, and a run through the acid-sands of West Sussex.

    Featuring Gertrude Jekyll, Edwin Lutyens and the National Trust in the news that Munstead Wood is 'to be preserved for the nation'

    [00:08:24] Golden chain tree and the particularity of its yellow

    [00:13:01] Lilac's use as a besmirching foil. The neighbour's trampoline of huge and surprising beauty

    [00:15:38] Father's death inspires thoughts on gardens.

    [00:19:16] Gertrude Jekyll and the Arts and Crafts movement

    [00:23:52] Gardens best seen after suffering?

    [00:27:32] The Canterbury tales as told on the Hidcot coach.

    [00:29:27] Small towns end abruptly.

    [00:32:41] Rhododendron ponticum invasive but lovely in the shade
