Digging Deep

The Japanese have always understood the spiritual power of gardens and gardening. This fantastic BBC show sets out to give garden owners an emotional boost by giving their garden a makeover.

There's more to gardening than just digging, mowing, pruning and hacking away at weeds, as garden designers Andre Smith and Amanda Brook demonstrate in this series. The dynamic pair transform gardens with the aim of improving the owner's emotional wellbeing, by focusing on the hidden psychological reasons behind the neglected hedges and tangled borders.

Throughout the series Andre and Amanda visit people like Clare, who designed her garden as a love nest for herself and her partner, and decided on a large, deep pond as a centrepiece. When her partner left after a 20-year relationship, Clare's feelings for the garden changed. It's up to Andre and Amanda to restore her faith in the garden by coming up with a new design that will help her move on.
