Standing on the shoulders of Victorian gardeners
Manage episode 432768115 series 3453869
Hill Close was a pasture until 1845 when its owner decided to divide it up into gardens. Individual plots where Victorians could rent a space to tend their plants, build a summer house, relax with their family. These were detached gardens for people who had no outdoor space where they lived but a little bit of money to rent one nearby.
Once there were many such gardens in the UK. Where did they go? Why did Hill Close survive? And who were the people who gardened here?
