Christine Walkden heads for the lakes and fells of Cumbria to visit some more magnificent gardens.At Levens Hall she lends a hand planting some spring bulbs, and hears some of lakeland lad Len's special memories. At Holehird she meets the dedicated volunteers who have restored this 19th-century garden to its former glory. And we discover the spur to Beatrix Potter's prolific writing career.
