It's difficult to say which part of the garden is the oldest as plants from the original Barnsdale were planted about and the woodland area is predominantly planted with trees moved from there. However, it was the part of the garden called Versailles that was first developed where the beech hedge was used to blank off the rest of the wasteland. Geoff would then either develop an area specifically for use on television or build a garden because he thought it was a good idea and then persuade his producer that it was of interest to the viewers - he wasn't often wrong! Known for building often small, but individual gardens that so many people could relate to started in 1984 with the, 'Garden from Scratch'. As with so many of the small gardens hecreated the area was redesigned. It became the Budget Garden in 1986, in 1992 the Living Garden. This garden was created within the fencing erected for the Garden from Scratch. Since redesigned by Adam Frost, who was our chief designer and builder. Although nothing like the garden created for the series it has been built using the same principles.
