Roger Deakin - The Garden
After the sound portrait of his ancient farmhouse, Roger Deakin tours the garden with its moat and animal friends. From 2004.
Walnut Tree Farm is a 450-year-old wooden farmhouse, buried under a blanket of ivy and wild honeysuckle, in Suffolk.
It's owner, the writer and conservationist Roger Deakin, introduced his home in The House. Now he presents his garden after which the farm is named.
In this evocative and personal portrait, Deakin offers an intimate record of the changing soundscape of the garden as the seasons unfold.
Our mildly eccentric guide tell us about his moat, shepherd's hut, outdoor Victorian bath, and animal friends.
