GREEN AND PLEASANT

The Art Of The Garden, 7pm, Sky Arts

IN THIS wonderfully restful new programme, leading designers give us an insight into their work transforming the gardens of grand stately homes. The six-part series will also explore the connections between healing, sustainability and the beauty of gardens. In this first episodes, we meet Dan Pearson (pictured), who has been challenged to build a new area within the ruins of Lowther Castle in Cumbria. The award-winning designer and author reveals he turned to the gardens of Ninfa near Rome for inspiration.
