The Flying Winter Gardener
The Winter Flying Gardener takes to the skies to redress the prevailing view among amateur botanists that gardens are barren in the winter months.
In his Agusta 109 helicopter, Chris Beardshaw travels round the country showing viewers how to make the most of the garden, even in winter.
The use of the helicopter means that Chris can travel quickly between regions, and highlight the ways gardeners can take advantage of the micro-climates particular to their area.
The
Winter Flying Gardener also underlines the importance of planting bulbs, pruning and other preparatory work, which are best done in winter.
Chris provides plenty of practical advice on optimising the garden in the winter, highlighting the plants that thrive in winter.
