The Front Garden - Candida Lycett Green

Our front gardens show 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 gardens; formal flower-patterned gardens, gardens inhabited by gnomes; gardens made with shells; even a garden without any plants...
I realise that this program has already been uploaded but in in several parts. This upload it is one part (with a slight tape glitch about two minutes in).

What a beautiful old programme. I love it when people grow flowers in their front gardens for all to enjoy. Thank you.

Beautiful video. I love how so many of the gardeners are retired and refused to just sit on their butts. They kept working. They created something, most or all of which is probably gone now, but they did it. They brought beauty into the world, if only for a moment.

Mrs. Barnes climbing over walls and gardening in a skirt and those heels! Fabulous

Great Britain was made by great people with great attitudes...so if we want this again it's up to us.

Notice how adults in this video don't look like children!

What a lovely documentary! I managed to find some of these homes on Google maps but sadly the gardens are now bare. The gatehouse property looks like someone lives there but it’s all just grass and no plants 🙁 The house with the garden that the lady extended to the pavement is no longer as in the video; the plants at the front have disappeared and it’s looking slightly unkempt now. I adore cottage gardens and I always try to keep my garden looking pretty with perennial flowers and roses too🌹

I have been looking too, I remember watching this a long time ago and loved it. The house with the Shell Garden looks like a bombsite, the shells all gone and packed with cars, Mr Buxton-Deans castle garden has all gone, just the middle wall still exisits. I noticed there are still some plants there which the lady who climbed over the church wall planted, the conifers are much bigger now. It is good there are still a few of us keeping up the gardening tradition! 🙂

I loved how the judges brusquely ignored the now in vogue unkempt- wild garden in favour of his neighbours manicured to a fault front garden. How tastes change
