Programme Details
The series sees plants expert Carol Klein travelling up and down the country visiting every type of garden, from small seaside haven to wild Cumbrian fell, helping the owners achieve their ambition to be accepted into the The National Gardens Scheme and gain a place in its Yellow Book.
Each programme features two gardens, one as it prepares to open its gates to the public for the first time, the second, a hopeful, as it strives to pass the strict criteria needed to be one of the new "Open Gardens" of 2007.
Every garden in The National Gardens Scheme must offer its visitors at least forty-five minutes of interest, it's not the size of a garden that is important but the interesting range of planting.

Famous quotes containing the words programme and/or details:
“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)
“There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
