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:
“Bolkenstein, a Minister, was speaking on the Dutch programme from London, and he said that they ought to make a collection of diaries and letters after the war. Of course, they all made a rush at my diary immediately. Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the “Secret Annexe.” The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“If my sons are to become the kind of men our daughters would be pleased to live among, attention to domestic details is critical. The hostilities that arise over housework...are crushing the daughters of my generation....Change takes time, but men’s continued obliviousness to home responsibilities is causing women everywhere to expire of trivialities.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
