Year At Kew, A - Series 2 Movie
Former student of Kew's School of Horticulture, Alan Titchmarsh, narrates this story of a year behind-the-scenes at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The unique gardens attract over a million visitors each year, all eager to enjoy the beautiful plants, flowers and magnificent glasshouses. The series also visits Kew's country estate, Wakehurst Place and ventures as far afield as Burkino Faso and Mali where the seed collectors from the Millenium Seedbank are keen to catalogue existing plants and find new species. Back in the gardens there is a royal visit to prepare for when Her Majesty the Queen helps the gardens celebrate their World Heritage Site status. Each episode introduces some of the garden's monthly highlights and problems which all fall within the daily duties of Kew's dedicated team of experts. These include preparing for the controversial Chihuly glass sculpture exhibition, creating an authentic Zen garden, a marathon pruning session and feeding the carnivorous plants.
