Let Rula Lenska lead you on a magical journey through 8 beautiful botanic gardens in Britain from places such as Kew, Edinburgh, Cambridge, Chelsea, Westonbirt, Glasgow, Ness and Wisley. The individual, and often international species found in each garden are explored, as well as what they say about the social, political and horticultural tendencies of the country.
