This is the wonderful DVD of the classic BBC TV programme 'The Victorian Kitchen Garden' narrated by the brilliantly mono-tone Peter Thoday and starring the original kitchen gardener himself, Harry Dodson. TV doesn't get better than this.

Customer Reviews

Gardening at its best
I remember seeing a few episodes of this when it was first broadcast on telly,and I enjoyed it.Some years ago I aquired the whole series on video,and have watched it many times.Now that The Victorian Kitchen Garden,The Victorian Flower Garden and The Victorian Kitchen are available on DVD this is a must have for any novice or experienced gardener.
Harry Dodson,like his father and grandfather before him was employed at "The Big House" working his way up from journeyman to eventually becoming Head Gardener.
The late Harry Dodson who inspired me to take up growing Fruit and Vegetables back in the 1980's was a very knowledgable and delightful man.If you want to be inspired to grow your own veg even in a small garden,then this is definitely the best documentary type film to watch.As one episode finishes you find you can't wait to watch the next one and see what they do next.
Even the music is fine,as is the way they transform this old walled garden
that was run down and neglected back to its former glory. Like others have said this series is truly inspirational,and I can't recommend it stongly enough.
While you are at it though,I higly recommend the complete set of Three Victorian DVD's
Hours of Gardening Bliss

old ways are the best
I would recommend this dvd,harry dodson is and was a delight, its great to watch the old ways of growing and its his old way that my allotment will carry on the tradition.A must dvd and many thanks to peter thoday and harry for agreeing to do the series.

Fantastic!!
This is a very informative dvd, Harry Dodson is an inspiration to all who wish to grow their own vegetables. The history surrounding the Victorian kitchen garden is explained in an interesting way.
