I've been watching this documentary now for a few years, I have accumulated many books on the garden and the lives of Vita, Harold and Nigel. I would like to commend Nigel for propagating the memory of this famous garden created by his parents all those many years ago. We owe him a deep credit that thanks to his books and these interviews, Sissinghurst lives on!
@@ericsteven6632 Hi Eric, I am looking forward to a break in our unseasonably HOT 🥵 90 degree weather. I am responding to you on Friday 5/28/21 by Monday it is suppose to drop to 60 degrees with much needed rain. We are under a dry weather warning. I am slowly getting my small garden planted. This is always a joy. How are things going for you?
I love everything about this documentary as well, including the music, the narration and script. So quaint and beautiful, highbrow without appearing stuffy.
Just looking at these beautiful and wondrous gardens allows one’s eyes and soul savor their essence and inspire the beholder to create gardens of their own albeit in a miniature replica.
A lovely introduction to the gardens we hope to see on our May/June visit to England from the States - cannot wait, now knowing just which gardens to explore.
Wishing you a special visit to England. I was at Sissinghurst yesterday....you simply must visit there; the cottage garden is simply breathtaking at the moment, even if the summer-flowering areas are not yet in bloom.
Hey Rita, how are you doing today and your family merry Christmas to you my special new friend. I'm from china but I base in Texas.. where are you celebrate your special celebrate..
The white garden is amazing for moonlight. Once I designed a champagne pink garden with blue green foliage plants and grey foliage like artemis and dusty miller and lambs ears, only the palest pink florals allowed, for a similarly magical effect in the starlight and daylight alike. These gardens show what I think is the right use of money and time. I hope there are gardens in heaven. We have in any garden the picture of revival and continuance of beauty and peace we hope to inhabit in eternity.
@@MDkid1 why, thank you. I hope to deserve your compliment. Many of my poems involve gardening and our healthy interactions with growing things. Waiting for a printer to get them into circulation.
Hey Helen, it's amazing sound, I only enjoy the sound, remember when am play piano at home. I base in Texas.but I come from china.... Merry Christmas to you Helen
We just started our channel. We can all learn something new. Thank you to everyone for fresh ideas and great information. Everyone should grow their own. Join our Garden Journey.

Nice to hear a pleasant, attractive English accent on one of these programmes. So many British programmes nowadays have hosts with absolutely appalling accents and grammar.
According to his website, he emigrated to Texas several decades ago from the UK, which accounts for the transatlantic colour in his otherwise clear, educated English accent.
A small pity the film was in a more square aspect ratio than the widescreen upload, which appears have been artificially stretched. My eye is attune to this kind of stuff, for me it takes from the viewing experience. Quick example: i.imgur.com/16xNPYQ.png (notice the image of the gardener on the left appears much more natural)
What kind of hedge is that at 9 minutes in? And perhaps he says what it is at some point. If so I’ve missed it or couldn’t make it out. English is not my mother language so appreciate it if someone can help. Thanks
Ah, a documentary so crusty and old-fashioned you can set your pocket watch to it. LOL. It can be annoying at the times, but it has its charms as well.
That is a disguised accent, quite unnatural and not native British, trying too hard to sound authentic. The music also tries too hard. Handel is very formal, buttoned up music of the courts, while gardens are outdoors, free and easy and essentially romantic. Delius, or Vaughan Williams, even Butterworth would have been a better choice. Another sign of imposters, trying to be as British as possible and garner large quantities of US views.
Mandy Miles I have a British accent, it’s not a regional one thank god, but it’s one spoken in southern England and the Home Counties (not Essex of course as that is full of ex-East Enders).
The definition of a National Trust:. When THEY can't pay their bills, their gov't buddies let them continue to live there while the taxpayers foot all the bills.
@@clairenoon4070 You think there's no upkeep to those mansions? The taxpayers are the tourist's fees that the bum house sitting families have to let in seasonally.
@@lesliekendall5668 What a bizarre definition of 'taxpayer'! If people choose to become members of the National Trust, or pay entrance fees to visit properties or gardens, or eat and drink in one of the cafes or restaurants whilst on a visit, or buy things in one of the shops (physical and online), or stay in one of their holiday cottages, or stay in one of their hotels, or go on any of their courses etc etc, the list goes on, that is entirely that; a choice. Nobody has to spend a single penny with the NT if they don't wish to. Your daft claim is like saying you buying a brand of shower gel is 'you as a taxpayer being forced to pay for something'. Also, in the earlier days of the NT, when some of these agreements were made, it was actually the reverse; families were expected to provide a massive lump-sum to the NT to provide an 'endowment' from which the interest would help towards the upkeep. The NT regularly walked away from properties that were offered to it by families if they felt the proposed endowment was insufficient. Further; many people who visit these properties like the idea that they are still family homes, albeit that the family will now live in a limited suite of rooms or separate apartment within the house, to enable the rest of the property to be shown. Further, given that the demographic most likely to be NT members or visitors are retired people, they are not taxpayers anyway!
Frankly, I'm not that impressed. The glowing build-up exceeds the reality too much. It all depends on the particular season, and light. I don't know when this was filmed, but it seems over exposed, and the colours weak. I saw this Garden some years ago on TV, it was far crisper and defined than here.
2024 and I’m still mesmerized by this gem so lovingly put together and narrated

The music was delightful right from the beginning along with the birdseye view of gardens. The narrators soothing voice also sets the stage.

A home counties accent.
He doesn't sound English at all to me. I thought he was Canadian.

i used to set the tv to play Monty Don's gardening shows to sleep to his voice.
OMG, used to do the same! His voice is so calming, and sweet!
If Nigel isn't the most classic Englishman character then I don't know anything....

Big pitty!, I tried to watch it on my TV but I got dizzy and nauseous. Had to turn it off.
A bit plummy but I love the gardens
I absolutely love plummy English accents. Unfortunately it’s dying out in favour of the common chavvy accent.

And what's wrong with "plummy" accents? No doubt yours sounds a bit off-putting to some.

What kind of hedge is that at 9 minutes in? And perhaps he says what it is at some point. If so I’ve missed it or couldn’t make it out. English is not my mother language so appreciate it if someone can help. Thanks
Have you noticed how overworked the adjective " great " is?? There are others in our language:: i.e., marvelous, fine, magnificent.

There is no such thing as a British accent.
