0:00:43 > 0:00:47- Maybe not the ideal place - to attract enthusiastic gardeners...
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- ..but the location - hasn't prevented Allan Evans...
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- ..competing at the highest level...
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- ..and creating - a very special garden.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- This garden - is a rural, fertile creation...
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- ..created on a patch - right next to the street.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- It wasn't created just to look good, - though.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- Allan's delight is competing.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Judging by the certificates - in his shed, he's done quite well.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- It started in the small shows - when I was 16 years old.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- I competed in the Conwy Show - with my Chrysanths.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31- I achieved some success - and people were encouraging me...
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- ..to compete in larger shows.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- I taught myself how to do it.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- These days, only one flower attracts - Allan's eye when he's competing.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- It's the Dahlia, a flower with - pompoms of all shapes and sizes.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Allan's dedicated almost - all the garden to growing them.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- I don't think I've seen - a more colourful picture in my life.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- This flower is Gwyneth.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- It's an orange flower.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Further on, - you can see Taratahi Ruby.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10- It has a yellow centre.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12- That's a great one to grow.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- This is a Dorothy Rose Ball Dahlia.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- As you can see, - it grows to the heavens.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- It's a wonderfully colourful flower.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- One of nature's wonders - - the way those little cups open up.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- It takes two or three days - from where they are now...
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- ..for them to fully open up.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Which one is your favourite?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Which one is your favourite?- - Weston Spanish Dancer.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- It's yellow and red.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- The cactus?
0:02:44 > 0:02:45- The cactus?- - Everyone likes that one.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- The Weston Pirate is dark red. - That's right next to it.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- You can grow different types - in the garden.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Some people like to grow them - in small borders.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- That's different to the way - I grow them, to compete in shows.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- I've never grown a Dahlia.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09- If anything could convince me - to grow them, it's that one.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- That's perfect.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- It's easy to grow too.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- It's easy to grow.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Would you like some lessons?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- I'll need lessons, definitely.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Allan could have another rival - in no time.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- Competing in the larger shows - requires a lot of work.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Dahlias are tubers.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- We transfer the tubers - to the glasshouse, dry them out...
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- ..and keep them dry until January.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- They start sprouting small cuttings.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- We take the cuttings - from those plants...
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- ..and plant them in June.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53- There we go, lads, I hope - you'll grow ready for the shows.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Be kind to me, lads!
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- It's good that you gave up working.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- You don't have time - for anything else.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- That's true. - I don't know where the day goes.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- I don't know - where I found the time to work.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- As well as being driven - by the healthy competition...
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- ..Allan's ambition is to be part - of the National Garden Scheme...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- ..to share his garden and skills - with others.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- They want us to open every year and - invite people for tea and a chat.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- I think it's great - that people can come here...
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- ..to socialise and support us.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37- They can see the colours and - what we can do in a confined space.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42- They can take that home with them - and use the skills and ideas.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- There's no secret - to showing flowers.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- You learn your skill and craft - as you move on.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- If you can share it, great.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Within days, Harrogate will host - the year's most important show.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Allan hopes it will be - a successful show for him.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- First, he has to choose Dahlias - of the required standard.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- It's important they fit - through this ring.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10- That's perfect today.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Tomorrow, those heads - might start to come through...
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- ..and they won't fit - through the ring.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- It would be disqualified in the show - in that section.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- There are larger flowers there. - They're worthless now.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- You can't use them?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- You can't use them?- - No, they wouldn't get through.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- This is a wonderful flower.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- It's not just a case - of checking them here.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- They could swell in the car.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- By the time you reach the show, - they could be too big.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- There are Dahlias this big?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- There are Dahlias this big?- - The Bryn Terfel Dahlia!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- There is a Bryn Terfel.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Bryn Terfel will be grateful - of such a big flower.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- It's like him, a giant!
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Accuracy to a hair's breadth - is crucial when competing.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- Allan dedicates - all his spare time and soul...
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- ..to his obsession for his garden.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- It's a worker's garden.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- We don't get much time to enjoy it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- We do have two chairs in the garage.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- We bring them out, - sit in them and eat ice creams.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Sometimes, a bottle of wine.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Those times are seldom indeed.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- A lot of work - has gone into this garden.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- That's important, - but I do enjoy competing.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36- You strive for perfection - but you want to raise the standard.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- You want to improve. I don't know - when the improvement ends.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42- I don't know where it ends.
0:06:43 > 0:06:44- Does it end?
0:06:44 > 0:06:45- Does it end?- - I don't think so.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- You've not reached a point...
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- ..when you've seen a flower - and said, "That's it.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- "That's the perfect flower."
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- No, not yet, - but I was thinking to myself today.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- There will be a day where - I won't want to compete anymore.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- That will be my pinnacle.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- If I finish, it'll be on a pinnacle. - I've got to go on a high!
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- It was a successful season for Allan - with eight firsts and two thirds.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- I don't think - he'll put his feet up any time soon.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Llanelli is a town in South Wales - with a beautiful coastline.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- In the 19th century, - it was an industrial town...
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- ..nicknamed Tinopolis because - it produced tin on a global scale.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- These Victorian terraced houses - are a throwback to that time.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- It's not a place - you'd associate with nature...
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- ..but Stuart has created - a beautifully natural haven...
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- ..behind his terraced house.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Stuart Blackmore - has always lived in Llanelli.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- That hasn't prevented him - creating a wonderful garden...
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- ..and surroundings to attract - all kinds of wildlife.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27- A palmate newt.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- It has no spots under its head.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- This is the male, you can see!
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- His delight in nature - isn't confined to the garden.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- It makes its way - all the way into his house!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Let's sit down. - You can have the kingfisher.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- Cheers. Lovely.
0:08:52 > 0:08:58- Since I was a child, I've been - interested in plants, animals...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- ..and nature in general.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- When I moved here, - it was rectangular...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- ..and the path led to the road.
0:09:08 > 0:09:14- Families in terraced houses - grew vegetables to feed the family.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- I pulled the path up and designed - a new path through the middle.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24- I dotted plants all around - and added plenty of colour.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- I don't like mowing lawns. - My garden is filled with plants.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Lawns take up too much room.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37- No corner of this little garden - is without a flower or plant...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- ..growing in it.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- It's easy to forget - that you're in a town.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- It's a packed garden.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- It is packed. The plants - grow tall at this time of year.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- The roses are in full bloom.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Roses are your chief delight.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- I love roses, yes.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- I didn't think I could grow them - at first because the soil was light.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- It was extremely fine.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- Since I've been growing - old-fashioned roses...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- ..the David Austin roses...
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- ..they've flourished.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- It's a sea of colour - - yellow, white and pink.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- There are different shades of pink.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- I wanted yellow on that side, - red on this side...
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- ..but nature - is very ill-disciplined!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- I'm the same when I'm gardening!
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- It looks much better than my garden!
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Seasonal planting - of various plants...
0:10:36 > 0:10:41- ..offers plenty of interest - in the garden from season to season.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46- The garden is home to a variety - of birds and wildlife.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- 40 different types of birds - have been spotted in this garden.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- The black redstart...
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- ..and common birds - such as the house sparrow.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- One wildlife creature that Stuart - doesn't welcome in his garden...
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- ..is the snail.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12- The problem is everything - is so tightly packed.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Snails abseil down - from one plant to the next...
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- ..however many obstacles - are in their way.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- There are so many of them.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- They're a plague. - They eat all the daisy family.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- I've given up - growing Michaelmas daisies.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- They don't stand a chance here.
0:11:32 > 0:11:38- Having faced every challenge - developing a small urban garden...
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- ..Stuart decided to publish a book, - A Cottage Garden in Town.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Friends told me that I'd - created something special here.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- It's a confined space.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56- They told me I should write down how - I did it and developed the garden.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- I wrote the book after retiring.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Writing it gave me so much pleasure.
0:12:03 > 0:12:08- It allowed me to record some - wonderful Welsh names for flowers.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- I want to grow as many plants - as I can in this garden.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- This garden is a collection - of plants.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- It's not something - that was designed.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- The garden is a reflection - of my interests...
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- ..but not so much of my personality.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- I think I'm a more formal character - but the garden is very informal.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- I like being out in the garden.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- I can't imagine living somewhere...
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- ..where I can't walk out - into the natural, green world.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- It's like an extra lung for me.
0:13:00 > 0:13:06- It's a wonderful garden. You've - packed so much into one small strip.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- It is small and it is packed.

0:15:22 > 0:15:23- We sit here in sunshine...
0:15:24 > 0:15:29- ..watching wind and rain the other - side of the estuary, so we're lucky.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- What did the garden look like - when you first arrived?
0:15:33 > 0:15:34- Nothing!
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- Nothing!- - Nothing at all?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- Everything's changed year on year.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- The borders get bigger, - new borders come in.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- Which flowers do you like growing?

0:16:40 > 0:16:44- The potatoes come up soon - and then I'll plant some cabbages.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Why do you grow so many onions?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Why do you grow so many onions?- - I enjoy growing onions.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- I showed onions years ago, - they'd grow to 5-6lbs.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53- Each?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- Each?- - Yes, each.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- They're about - two and a half pounds now.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- People like seeing the onions - on Open Gardens day.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- There's a shed with a chimney on it - over there.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- For the winter, and when Menna - wants to do something.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- Close the door, light the fire, - everything's alright.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- You could install an oven.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- We do cook curries in winter. - We sit in the shed and drink wine.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- It's lovely and warm.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- You have this view too.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- You've been successful - in competition.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- The village has won the Swansea - In Bloom competition many times.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- We entered and won - the Best Garden competition once.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- We were happy to win it once.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- Once you reach the top, - there's no need to try again.
0:17:49 > 0:17:55- This is a garden to enjoy and - Llanmadoc's residents do the same.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- Apart from Randolph who's a slave to - the garden but enjoys every minute.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14- This couldn't be a more different - garden - it's just vegetables.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- The only use for a garden - is vegetables!
0:18:18 > 0:18:23- In the winter, we grow potatoes, - sweetcorn and French beans.
0:18:23 > 0:18:29- In September, the pigs come in - and stay there until December.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31- They prepare the land for you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- They prepare the land for you.- - They're better than rotovators.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- What do you do with all this veg - - do you eat it all?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Most of it, yes. - I have a large family.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Four families, myself and my wife.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- If any vegetables are left over...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- ..we sell them - and donate the money to charity.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Your whole family helps out.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- They also help me eat it!
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- I learnt the skills - from my father...
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- ..in his allotment.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Now I'm passing it on to my family.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- You've retired now.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10- You've retired now.- - Retired?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Retired? You're joking.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- I've finished paid work.
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- I don't have any spare time - on my hands and I'm happy with that.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- That's good to hear. - Let's head down to the orchard.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- To be honest, the orchard - has had a very successful year.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45- This is nice.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- It's wonderful.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- It's a secret place.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- It's a secret place.- - A great place to sit.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- For the first time this year.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- How many apple trees do you have?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- We have eight here.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- There are plums and cherries - on the other trees.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- Those are eating apples.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- There are lots of apples - on the trees.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- There's a plentiful supply - of natural water.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- This idea of a gardening family...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- ..you're the godfather.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- I'm the frontrunner.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- They're interested - but they're busy too.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- One day, they'll follow me.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- In the garden all week.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- You also have three fields.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- There's plenty of room to extend.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- That's right.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Next year, you'll have acres of veg.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Acres of veg!
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- All the gardens of Llanmadoc - are different.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Some are classical and formal...
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- ..while others are less formal.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- Sian Griffiths' garden cafe - is at the other end of the village.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- This is the end - of the garden pilgrimage.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Apart from the fact - I can see Llanelli...
0:21:13 > 0:21:18- ..I could imagine seeing wildebeests - and elephants on these plains.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- It's very different - to the other gardens we've seen.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27- It was a farm, initially, - and the house was a barn.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- This was a field - - it was in such a state.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- It's taken years - to get it to this condition.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Last year, - we decided to open a cafe.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- It's on the path to the beach.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- We see ornithologists and walkers.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Does the tide come in this far?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- It comes in quite far.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- It's like a lake in front of you.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- I need a boat - to take me to Llanelli.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Trees grow out of the lake.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- They're dying.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- When the tide comes in, - at high tide...
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- ..it's incredible.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- I think the garden is somewhere - where you should relax...
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- ..at the end of your working day.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13- You can socialise with friends.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- We have a pizza oven - and the pizzas are delicious.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- I love spending time out here.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- With that view, - there's no reason not to.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35- Why do you think that residents here - took to gardening so readily?
0:22:35 > 0:22:40- Everyone in the community - loves their gardens.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45- We live in a special place and the - view from every garden is different.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- We all want to raise money - for charities.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55- Who decides - which garden hosts the open day?
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- No-one decides. - If you want to open up, you can.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Is there competition between you?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Is there competition between you?- - No, no, no, no. There's no point.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Not for me - - I'm the only one doing it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- I win that competition.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Where veg is concerned, - Randolph's not wrong.
0:23:17 > 0:23:23- In Llanmadoc, every garden is a - reflection of the village's people.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- The gardens are beautiful - and bring everyone together...
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- ..which is so important - to the whole community.
