Mr. Dodson is in his late 70s and has been called upon to teach the commoners a thing or two about the old walled gardens of England. He's a heartwarming and fascinating character who takes you on a journey of the small Victorian flower garden. Although only 8 half-hour episodes it's jam packed with invaluable lessons on growing beautiful incredible flowers. Just loving flowers is enough to enjoy the series, and if you love to garden you simply cannot call yourself a gardener if you haven't watched all of the "Victorian" series. In this one, Mr. Dodson takes on the task of restoring an old Victorian garden. With just a helper or two he shows us simple concepts of growing plants that are long lost. The other episodes in the series are as wonderful and are all perfect for those who love to learn of old ways of living. He makes you realize how much we whine today about doing just a bit of work, and yet this aged gentleman can work circles around anyone today.
