From 'currant buns' to models of the Matterhorn?
Gardening writer Stephen Anderton explores the changing fashions in rock gardening.
He looks at the influence of the Northamptonshire landowner who wanted a landscape for his gnomes.
Plus the diminutive Yorkshireman who described his alpines as 'sulky' but who changed our view of the rockery.
Producer: Robyn Read
