Plants Featured in My Favourite Garden

My Favourite Garden is the brand new series where celebrities visit their favourite garden and tell us why it's so special to them. Over the course of ten episodes we meet Germaine Greer, Charles Kennedy, Helen Lederer and Chris Beardshaw to name but a few.

From Inverewe in Scotland to Sheffield Park in Sussex the team travelled the length of the country visiting some of the most beautiful gardens in the country and filming a truly stunning array of botany. Here we have compiled the plants, trees, flora and other exotica featured in the episodes.
