Plot Synopsis

Hosted by garden lover Alexander Armstrong and garden designer Arit Anderson, HEAVENLY GARDENS is a two-part docuseries that explores the age-old love affair with sacred gardens: places for reflection, spirituality, and sanctuary. Armstrong and Anderson visit six spectacular UK gardens, meeting the custodians, getting their hands dirty, and unearthing the surprising significance of the plants in each location. From The Bishop's Palace in Somerset to Pluscarden Abbey in the Highlands of Scotland; from Cambridge University's stunning Botanic Garden to Alnwick Castle's newly transformed garden in Northumberland; from Scone Palace's gardens of kings in Perthshire to Sudeley Castle's sacred connections in the Cotswolds, Alexander and Arit celebrate the significance of gardens in the Easter story itself. They will get hands on in these sacred places, meeting the custodians of these glorious gardens to pick up gardening tips and discover the very special and surprising spiritual significance of each place.

Alexander Armstrong says: "I've always loved gardens. They're beautiful places to enjoy plants, flowers, fruits and nature's changing seasons. Most of all though, for me, they're spiritual retreats from the modern world. This is a dream programme for me, celebrating some of the UK's most sacred gardens and meeting the amazing people whose physical and spiritual lives are intertwined in them."

HEAVENLY GARDENS had its U.S. premiere on Monday, October 19, 2020 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, as Acorn TV released both episodes.
