The Victorian Kitchen Garden

Episode Synopsis

Christmas occupies much of the head gardener's time. Harry ensures he has a plentiful supply of produce for the festive meals by stockpiling well in advance. In the forcing house chicory and rhubarb are ready, and in the glasshouse there are prized pineapples. Harry also gathers quantities of holly and ivy to make elaborate garlands and wreaths for the Big House. But this is now the final month of the project and Peter and Harry look back over the achievements of the last year and reflect on what the garden has meant to them.
