The Lost Gardens of Heligan

The gardens of Heligan in Cornwall were a thriving paradise until the First World War killed most of the gardening staff and the grounds fell into decay. The 1990s saw archaeologist Tim Smith set about restoring them to their former glory, his efforts described by The Times as 'the garden restoration of the century'. This video, based on the Channel Four series, charts the development of the garden over a 12 month cycle.
