Information
Documentary telling the story of Hidcote - the most influential English garden of the 20th century - and Lawrence Johnston, the enigmatic genius behind it. Hidcote Manor in Gloucestershire was the first garden ever taken on by the National Trust, who in a decade-long project completed in 2011 spent 3.5 million pounds in a major restoration programme. This included researching Johnston's original vision, which uncovered the compelling story of how a secretive and self-taught horticulturalist created such an iconic garden. Glyn Jones - head gardener at Hidcote - made it his mission to discover as much about the man as possible to reveal how, in the early 20th century, he created a garden that has influenced designers all over the world.
