Kent: Garden of England: Season 1, Episode 2

1 - 2: Episode 2

We start our day as the mist rises over Larkins Farm near Chiddingstone. As they have done for centuries, the hoppers arrive to harvest Kent's quintessential crop - the hop. In Whitstable, we join Terry Braine as he harvests another famous Kentish crop, the oyster. We meet boatman James Matharu as he poles his punt along Canterbury's beautiful River Stour, while at Canterbury Cathedral we spend time with mason Benn Swinfield as he shapes a stone for one of its flying buttresses. We also join the annual Weald of Kent ploughing match, and explore the Samphire Hoe nature reserve.
