Episode 1
46 mins
The Queen's Garden recounts a year in the Buckingham Palace Garden, exploring the history and natural history of this remarkable 39-acre oasis hidden in the heart of London. With permission from Her Majesty the Queen, the filmmakers explore this urban oasis with a five-century history -- a "living museum" where almost every plant (and some of the animals) have royal stories to tell.
Episode 2
46 mins
The second of two programmes in which Alan Titchmarsh gets exclusive access to the royal gardens at Buckingham Palace for a whole year. With Christmas over, tourists are fewer at the palace, but Alan discovers all manner of animal visitors in the gardens. With permission from the Queen, cameras are hidden in the gardens to film a robin nesting in the royal mower shed, a blackbird in the green house and, best of all, the discovery of a baby owl chick. Driven by the city warmth, spring comes early to the gardens, and Alan discovers evidence of the role they played as a nursery for the young royals including a moss covered sand pit. Then in late May, the race is on for the gardeners to put in their finishing touches as once again the party season is about to begin.
