The Landscape Man

Series 1

Series Summary The Landscape Man

Six couples have ambitious plans to design and create spectacular landscaped gardens. In this new series expert landscape gardener Matthew Wilson follows the couples as they strive to bring their visions to life.

But forget potting pansies, or worrying about hanging baskets, this is no ordinary gardening programme, this is enterprising and challenging gardening unlike anything seen on television before, involving excavating lakes, digging canyons and planting woodlands to create the grandest of landscapes.

Each episode follows a different project in Devon, Essex, Suffolk, Guernsey, Sussex and Wales. Matthew spends a year alongside each couple battling nature through all four seasons to help them achieve their dreams.

Matthew Wilson is the Creative Director of the Royal Horticultural Society, and has over 20 years experience as designer and curator at some of the most important gardens in the UK.
