A new programme from the BBC is hoping to encourage people to get outdoors and save the nation's rich garden heritage.
Starting in December, the new BBC 10-part series will feature advice and tips from 14 of the country's most prolific gardeners, including Monty Don and Charlie Dimmock.
In each episode, two presenters will focus on an endangered aspect of gardens about which they feel passionately about and offer hands-on, practical advice to viewers on how they can restore and look after their gardens.
The series will feature episodes on cottage gardens, herbaceous borders, cut flowers, roof gardens, topiary, ornamental bedding, ponds and water features, fruit tress and kitchen gardens.
Commissioning editor for BBC Daytime, Lindsay Bradbury, said: "Gardening is one of Britain’s boom areas – and this format fuses together top tips, nostalgia and an unparalleled team of passionate presenters."
The Great British Garden Revival starts on Monday, December 9 at 7pm.
