Nymans, West Sussex - one of the gardens in BBC4's forthcoming 4-part series that tells the history of gardens and places them in their social and historical context by focusing on four gardens and the people who created them. Chris Beardshaw, one of the presenters, says ' This series is the perfect example of how it is possible to tell the story of not just gardens but of the social, industrial and political developments that have shaped, or themselves been shaped by, their external environment.'
Garden historian Katie Campbell has written a fascinating and beautifully illustrated book to accompany the series and will be giving an illustrated talk on British Gardens in Time in Woodstock Methodist Church on Tuesday 20 May at 7pm - tickets £5 from The Woodstock Bookshop, in aid of the building project at Woodstock Methodist Church.
