What are Carol Klein’s highlights from Arundel?
Carol says: “I loved head gardener Martin’s (Duncan) exultant planting at Arundel. Some of the areas have a very tropical feel to them. The Collector Earl’s garden, which has a canal down the middle, is fabulous. I also loved the veg garden there. It provides the the Duke and Duchess who live there with a weekly veg box.”
What does Carol Klein love most about the series?
Carol says: "Each garden is just so inspiring in its own way. I loved meeting the different gardeners who look after them and finding out about what they’ve done, and how they’ve dealt with different conditions. There is a huge amount of nurture and love that goes into them.”
