A Year at KewA sparkling series about the life and work of the gardens ran for ten weeks from January 2007. The series, narrated by Alan Titchmarsh, was packed with information about gardens, plant science and the adventures of the individuals who make Kew tick. Viewers were able to plumb the depths of Kew's monumental compost heap; follow an intrepid Kew scientist as she searched China for medicinal plants; watch a Kew scientist working with farmers in Ghana to control pests on vital food crops; see how Kew charts early and un-seasonal flowering; and witness the efforts of Kew scientists to encourage poor South Africans to grow plants that are believed to be effective treating HIV.
