Horticulturist Christine Walkden explores gardens and countryside from a hot-air balloon. Christine heads for the lakes and fells of Cumbria.
Christine Walkden heads for the lakes and fells of Cumbria to visit some more magnificent gardens.
At Levens Hall, she lends a hand planting some spring bulbs and hears some of lakeland lad Len's special memories. At Holehird, she meets the dedicated volunteers who have restored this 19th-century garden to its former glory. And we discover the spur to Beatrix Potter's prolific writing career.
