THE MISSION OF THE NATIONAL TRUST IS TO RESTORE AND MAINTAIN THE WORK OF THE GREAT NURSERYMEN, BOTANISTS, LANDSCAPE DESIGNERS AND GARDENERS ON A GRAND SCALE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. EVERY ASPECT OF EACH GARDEN IS CAREFULLY MANAGED TO REFLECT THE BEAUTY AND SPECTACLE OF THE ORIGINALS IN ALL THEIR NATURAL SPLENDOUR. THE GARDENS FEATURED IN THIS DVD ARE IMPRESSIVE EXAMPLES OF THE HISTORY OF HORTICULTURE AND A VITAL ASPECT OF OUR HERITAGE.
