What is Secret Garden about?

Secret Garden is a five-part series set in different gardens across the UK. In each episode, we meet the gardeners who created these wild oases – as well as the animals that inhabit them. From pine martens in the Western Highlands to blue tits in Bristol, dormice in South Wales, swallows in the Lake District and otters in Oxfordshire, the series reveals an undiscovered world right on our doorstep.
