As a direct result of pictures displayed on our Ideas for Gardens web site, one of our Ideas Genie users was fortunate to interest Anglia TV in filming his garden for a new series of Britains Best Back
Gardens. He says he couldn't believe his luck and was sure it would fall through. It was however a unique, interesting and inspiring day when they filmed and told him he was to be on the programme. It
also gave him a strong feeling of accomplishment and the motivation to plan further improvements.
The original quest:
'Stephen Anderton and Janey Auchincloss begin a new search for
Britain's Best Back Garden 2005. From a short-list of 60, they must select one winner whose back garden has scored the most points in three categories: use and sense of space, planting design, and value
for money'.
The finals began transmission on Anglia TV in July 2005.
The TV program was transmitted in October 2005 on ITV with National coverage.
We have a DVD for those who missed it! Enquire by email.
There were two back to back programs.
