Cornwall
Horticulturist Christine Walkden explores gardens and countryside from a hot-air balloon. Her airborne adventure takes her to Trebah Garden in Cornwall.
Christine Walkden's airborne adventure takes her to Cornwall. At the tropical paradise that is Trebah Garden, she is transported back to childhood by the giant Brazilian gunnera. She also meets Marcus, whose own childhood was spent playing in the garden.
Christine's nerves are tested at St Michael's Mount when she comes face to face with gardening on the edge. And we meet a member of one of Cornwall's oldest male-voice choirs.
