"More Hidden Gardens" tells the story of the restoration of six very different gardens around the UK to their original state. Each garden has its own story to tell - from Croome Park, Laurence "Capability" Brown's first full commission, to Greenway, home to the family of Walter Raleigh and Agatha Christie, to Boveridge Park, designed in the 1920s and now a home to 30 children with extreme learning difficulties. Through archaeology and historical documents, the restorers aim to rediscover the lost beauty and hidden stories of these enchanting gardens. Specially-commissioned photographs chart the progress fo the gardeners as they uncover the original paintings and restore the gardens to their former glory.
