Daggs Allotments and Holly House

Series 1, episode 0

Series which follows people's attempts to have their gardens accepted into the demanding National Gardens Scheme. Daggs Allotments, in Thornbury near Bristol, are quite possibly the oldest working allotments in the country dating back to 1546. The 100 or so plots are used to grow anything from vegetables to cut flowers, but will the fact it is not a traditional garden count against it? In Cornwall the owners of Holly House have grand plans but need lots of help from presenter Carol Klein.
