I was very disappointed in this video. I got the impression the filmmakers took their home video camera to England, and during a free tour, perhaps, happened to video a few very nice English gardens and briefly interview the owners. The gardening information was very superficial, with less than minimal practical information to apply. No doubt, the gardens are beautiful, but you don't learn anything substantial about them. Also, the narration amounts to a lot of hyperbole with a smidgeon of tourbook data to barely keep it afloat. Basically, the narration amounts to filler. Too bad, because the gardens themselves leave you wanting to know so much more.

This is a video that gives the impression, whether true or not, that it was made in return for a free trip to England, on a low budget, and without much hard work having gone into it.
