Mid Wales
Horticulturist Christine Walkden explores gardens and countryside from a hot-air balloon. In Mid Wales, Christine learns how to brace an ancient yew.
Mid Wales is today's destination on Christine Walkden's balloon tour of some of Britain's finest gardens.
At Powis Castle Garden, she learns how to brace an ancient yew and meets David, whose family had worked there for generations. At the Dingle Garden, she helps to restore an obscured view.
We also hear the story of Mona Holloway, a wartime land girl who found love on a neighbouring farm.
