Our front gardens show other people what we can do - they even reveal what sort of people we are. An old miner builds 13 cathedrals in his front garden. A sailor cuts his hedge into a replica of his wartime destroyer. There are old-fashioned rambling cottage gardens; formal flower-patterned gardens; gardens inhabited by gnomes; gardens made with shells; even a garden without any plants.
"This glowing film... will make you laugh, gasp, and even shed a tear or two. Please watch it." (The Times)
