0:00:03 > 0:00:05The beauty of creation.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07How often do we stop to marvel at it?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Well, today, we're doing just that
0:00:11 > 0:00:13as we reach the height of summer...somewhere
0:00:13 > 0:00:16and more of us are spending time in our gardens.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19We've come to Britain's most popular horticultural centre
0:00:19 > 0:00:22to see its connection with God and how that's being celebrated
0:00:22 > 0:00:23with a new attraction.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28And at a time when such attractions are at their busiest,
0:00:28 > 0:00:32I'm here at one of the country's most visited places of worship
0:00:32 > 0:00:35to discover a sacred garden that's been around for hundreds of years
0:00:35 > 0:00:39and find out how gardening and music complement each other.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42We'll also be catching up with The Corrs,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46a Christian family who, this week, face their own gardening challenge.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49As well as hymns and performances from across the UK,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54inspired by and celebrating God's creative powers.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Welcome to Songs Of Praise.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08Celebrating God's amazing creations is the context of our first hymn,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10originally written for children
0:01:10 > 0:01:14but now universally loved - All Things Bright And Beautiful.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the jewel in the UK's botanical crown
0:03:38 > 0:03:42and home to 30,000 species of plants and flowers.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Starting life as a royal garden where botanical experimentation
0:03:46 > 0:03:51took place, it first opened its doors to the public in 1848.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54The gardens are now not only a world heritage site
0:03:54 > 0:03:57but also something of a national treasure,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01with nearly 1.5 million people passing through its gates
0:04:01 > 0:04:04every year, seeing nature at its most beautiful.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09And you might not know that this most famous of gardens
0:04:09 > 0:04:11has its own parish church,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15St Anne's, which, this year, is celebrating its 300th anniversary.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16To mark this milestone,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Kew has introduced a faith trail which opens later this month.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23So I've got my map and we're off to explore.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29In Kew's Princess Of Wales Conservatory I get my first glimpse
0:04:29 > 0:04:32of what's going to be on the trail.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35The idea was basically to have a look at the plants
0:04:35 > 0:04:38and to see what's the history and the culture that lies behind it
0:04:38 > 0:04:41and how they are kind of significant to the people,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43for the people of different faiths.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46So, what sort of things are talking about here, say, for instance?
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Uh, well, over here we do have the lotus
0:04:49 > 0:04:54which is sacred to the Buddhists and it's also sacred to the Hindus
0:04:54 > 0:04:56and it's considered as a symbol of purity.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58So, Nigel, which plants relate
0:04:58 > 0:04:59to the Christian faith here to you?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Well, virtually everything you've got here.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05There's about 167 plants identified in the Bible,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07and throughout the Bible
0:05:07 > 0:05:10plants are used for illustration of spiritual truths.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Even if you don't understand the significance
0:05:13 > 0:05:15of a particular plant, you can learn here.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17And even if you don't follow that faith,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19you can learn a lot about that plant
0:05:19 > 0:05:23and its significance to a particular religion or culture.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25One of the very important points from our point of view
0:05:25 > 0:05:29when we were thinking about this was that virtually everybody
0:05:29 > 0:05:32who comes to Kew, regardless or not of whether they profess a faith,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35come from a faith tradition or faith culture
0:05:35 > 0:05:39and therefore there is a general interest to them.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42And obviously, those who are maybe practising their faith more
0:05:42 > 0:05:45will find a little bit more out about that.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48So, we've seen the lotus here, shall we go and have a look
0:05:48 > 0:05:49at some other things?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57So, this is special here, isn't it? What is this now?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Yeah, this is very special. This is the frankincense tree.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06It has been used as incense since a very long time.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Yes, we use it every Sunday at St Anne's
0:06:09 > 0:06:11and I'd never realised this is where it came from.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13What the religious significance of it though?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16It's a sign. It's one of the three gifts
0:06:16 > 0:06:18that the magi brought to the infant Jesus
0:06:18 > 0:06:20and it's used in liturgy to symbolise
0:06:20 > 0:06:24holiness and maybe symbolising prayer ascending to heaven.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26And there's one more plant on the trail
0:06:26 > 0:06:28that father Nigel wants to show me.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32And over here you're going to show us something that's outside
0:06:32 > 0:06:35but that will have significance for a lot of people actually, won't it?
0:06:35 > 0:06:41Indeed. This is the bush that the soldiers would have used
0:06:41 > 0:06:45to plait the crown of thorns which they made to put on Jesus' head
0:06:45 > 0:06:48as to mock him because he claimed to be a king,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51and it's called Christ's-thorn.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Does nature play a role for you in your personal faith?
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Yes, it does.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58When I rise early and I take the dog out for a walk,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00walking along the riverside,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03calmly immersed with the birds singing,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07watching nature change the seasons, I feel very close to God.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09It really sets me up for the day.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24The Corrs, a Catholic family from Essex.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Earlier this year they responded to our appeal for a family
0:09:26 > 0:09:30to take part in some of our programmes over the summer.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33The idea is that we set them some challenges
0:09:33 > 0:09:36so that you find out how their Christian faith
0:09:36 > 0:09:37is woven into their lives.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44This week, we wanted to explore the role community plays in their life...
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Good morning.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49..so asked their priest to set them a bit of a green-fingered challenge.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Now, you know, every time you come to mass,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54you see our rather forlorn-looking memorial garden.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57And we want you to tidy that up for us.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59But because this is the 100th anniversary
0:09:59 > 0:10:01of the beginning of the First World War
0:10:01 > 0:10:04what we've like you to do is to make it a war memorial garden.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Can you do that?- OK, yeah.- We'll give it a go.- Excellent.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13"And right from the start, mum, Sam, took charge."
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Let's work in this area first.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16Let Charlotte have a go with the rake.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18And if... Aimee, you hold the bag.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Why don't you cut it first?
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Go on, get your back into it, girl.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28I thought it was going to be
0:10:28 > 0:10:31quite a good laugh because
0:10:31 > 0:10:32all the family together
0:10:32 > 0:10:34and doing things
0:10:34 > 0:10:36and sort of doing gardening.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40That's it, girls. That's looking really lovely now.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43What did you think about the thought of maybe doing gardening?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Did it fill you with horror or...?
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Uh, I actually was quite excited about it
0:10:46 > 0:10:49because, you know, as Christians,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53when you do gardening like growing a plant or seed, it's about life.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- How's the fence going, Martin? - I just put one in and one fell off.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I think I'm going to be all day doing this.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I think Father Gerry's booby-trapped it, you know?
0:11:03 > 0:11:04'Not natural gardeners.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08'They are a little daunted by the task in hand.'
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Is that a weed over there? Are you sure it's not a raspberry plant?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Anything that looks like a weed probably is a weed.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- They're raspberries.- All right.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21I did never promise I was Mrs Titchmarsh.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22I have to say, in all honesty,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26gardening was something that we haven't done much of until recently.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Mum, can I have some soil, please?
0:11:28 > 0:11:30It's very satisfying work.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33And when you can actually look at a garden in bloom
0:11:33 > 0:11:36it reminds you of the awe and wonders of God's creation.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40"But over an hour later and tensions start to rise
0:11:40 > 0:11:42"about how they're going to best pay tribute
0:11:42 > 0:11:45"to the 100-year anniversary of the Great War."
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Why don't you put it there?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49We're going to put the poppy seeds.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Oh, well, that would be lovely, wouldn't it?
0:11:51 > 0:11:53No. No. I think...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Right, get the plants down, then scatter the poppies
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and then you've got kind of a very wild sort of...
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I agree about the wild...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04It did get a bit frustrating at times when, you know,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06you try to do some stuff.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Excuse me, you can't just go with your own ideas.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Being part of the community we have to listen to each other, Martin.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16We have to listen to each other and each other's ideas.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20I tell you what would look nice here, the number 100.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22We could do a "1" and then an "0" and then an "0".
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Do you know what I was thinking? Have 1914.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Yeah, but 1914 is much harder to do than 100.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30I think when you all sort of have your own ideas
0:12:30 > 0:12:32you've got to compromise sometimes,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35which is what I did a little bit but I still got the 100 at the end.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Yay, we got it, didn't we?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42One, zero, zero.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- I can't see it.- You can't see it?
0:12:45 > 0:12:49"With much of the day gone, the Corrs are happy with their hard work."
0:12:49 > 0:12:53I'm sure that once it all blooms it will all look...fabaroony.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Hi, father.- ALL: Hello, father.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Wow, look at what you've done.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00"And father Gerry arrives to bless the revitalised memorial space."
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Heavenly Father, we give you thanks for the gift of this land,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07for the gift and the beauty of flowers.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Being part of a community is not what you can take out,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14it's what you can give back.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Lord, make us always mindful of those who have given their lives
0:13:18 > 0:13:19so that we might be free.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Eternal rest grant to them, oh, Lord
0:13:23 > 0:13:25and let perpetual light shine upon them.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27May they rest in peace.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Amen.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39# I look around me as I grow
0:13:40 > 0:13:46# I'd like to tell you all I know
0:13:55 > 0:14:01# I see life with all its energy
0:14:01 > 0:14:08# The city streets, the rush of time
0:14:08 > 0:14:11# This is my world
0:14:11 > 0:14:15# It's where I like to be
0:14:15 > 0:14:18# So much to see
0:14:18 > 0:14:22# So much to find
0:14:22 > 0:14:27# I sometimes sit and wait a while
0:14:28 > 0:14:34# I see the sun It makes me smile
0:14:36 > 0:14:42- # Can you see it? - Can you see it?
0:14:42 > 0:14:48# Can you see it too?
0:14:49 > 0:14:55- # Can you see it?- Can you see it?
0:14:56 > 0:15:01# Can you see it too?
0:15:02 > 0:15:08# My world's a silent one but it's enough for me
0:15:09 > 0:15:14# I hear you through your hands The movement sets me free
0:15:16 > 0:15:21# But it would be a special thing
0:15:21 > 0:15:28# To hear your voice To hear you sing
0:15:30 > 0:15:36- # Can you hear me? - Can you hear me?
0:15:36 > 0:15:43# Can you hear me too?
0:15:43 > 0:15:49- # Can you hear me? - Can you hear me?
0:15:50 > 0:15:56# Can you hear me too?
0:16:00 > 0:16:06# I look around me as I grow
0:16:06 > 0:16:14# I'd like to tell you all I know
0:16:18 > 0:16:31# Can you hear me? #
0:16:35 > 0:16:39Thousands of people are familiar with this view of Westminster Abbey
0:16:39 > 0:16:43but you might not be familiar with this one, their beautiful gardens.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Well, there are three spaces around the Abbey.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47One is in the Cloister Garth
0:16:47 > 0:16:50which is central to the Abbey, the old Cloister
0:16:50 > 0:16:55where the monks originally were able to spend time reflecting,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58sitting, chatting, as well as reading.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It was a reflective sort of space, a social space.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04And then where we are here in the Little Cloister
0:17:04 > 0:17:09is where monks who were unwell used to come and sit and be private.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13I mean, actually kept...not quite in quarantine but something like that,
0:17:13 > 0:17:17sort of close to the Abbey but not in direct contact.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19And then out through the Cloister there
0:17:19 > 0:17:22is the Infirmary Garden, known now as the College Garden
0:17:22 > 0:17:26and was the original garden going back, well, 900 years.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30And it's in the college garden that I caught up with head gardener Jan.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Nice to see you.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33This garden used to be gardened by monks.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Herbs were a very big part of their lives for medicinal purposes.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Also, their diets were very bland, and therefore
0:17:41 > 0:17:43culinary herbs were extremely important.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45They had some very strong-tasting herbs as well
0:17:45 > 0:17:47that we probably wouldn't like.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Jan, what is it like working in the Abbey Gardens?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Well, the first seven or so years I was here I could not believe it.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Just like looking up from watering a pot
0:17:56 > 0:17:59and you can see Victoria Tower over there.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01You know, every quarter of an hour you've got Big Ben going.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04It's just... I mean, we never have to have a watch or anything
0:18:04 > 0:18:07because we always know what time it is.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11The amazing thing is to be in the centre of this global capital.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13You know, right next to Parliament,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17the gardens around and then there's still space.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18And prayer often...
0:18:18 > 0:18:22We think of prayer in terms of words on a page, or a text,
0:18:22 > 0:18:26or something like that but somehow, being close to nature,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30close to the garden in this way, enables you to go beyond that.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And of course, the original word "paradise"
0:18:33 > 0:18:35is an Iranian-Persian word
0:18:35 > 0:18:37that means garden.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39And so, that drawing close to paradise
0:18:39 > 0:18:43and drawing close to your garden kind of go hand-in-hand.
0:18:48 > 0:18:56# Our father
0:18:57 > 0:19:05# Which art in heaven
0:19:06 > 0:19:15- # Hallowed be - Hallowed be
0:19:15 > 0:19:22# Thy name
0:19:25 > 0:19:31# Thy kingdom come
0:19:32 > 0:19:37# Thy will be done

0:19:41 > 0:19:55# As it is in heaven

0:20:11 > 0:20:16# Our daily bread
0:20:16 > 0:20:21# And forgive us our trespasses
0:20:21 > 0:20:26# As we forgive those who trespass against us
0:20:32 > 0:20:37# And lead us not into temptation
0:20:37 > 0:20:42# But deliver us from evil
0:20:42 > 0:20:48# For thine is the kingdom
0:20:48 > 0:20:54# And the power and the glory
0:20:54 > 0:21:01# Forever
0:21:01 > 0:21:06# Amen
0:21:07 > 0:21:12# Amen
0:21:12 > 0:21:19# For thine is the kingdom
0:21:19 > 0:21:26# And the power and the glory
0:21:26 > 0:21:33# Forever
0:21:33 > 0:21:37# And ever
0:21:37 > 0:21:43# Amen
0:21:44 > 0:21:53# Amen. #
0:21:57 > 0:22:00The organ is such a key element to church music,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03and the one here is among the finest in the world
0:22:03 > 0:22:06and I can't believe they're going to let me have a go on it.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16- Hi, Daniel.- Hi.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Sorry to interrupt you there. That sounded absolutely beautiful.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- Thanks.- This is quite a piece of kit.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Just tell me, what are the major components?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Well, we've got five keyboards which we call manuals on an organ,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32and they're just the same as the piano but they're slightly shorter.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34And then we have a pedal keyboard as well,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36which is the thing that most people are frightened of.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Yes.- Although...- It is frightening looking from my perspective.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Absolutely. But it's just the same as the manuals
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- but it plays all the low pipes.- OK.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47And then we've got all these buttons that you can see
0:22:47 > 0:22:48which are called pistons,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51and they give me separate combinations
0:22:51 > 0:22:54and make the stops move. And that brings me to the stops
0:22:54 > 0:22:55which control the different sounds.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Why don't you try pulling some out? - Can I have... Shall we go for the...
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Let's see. The clarion and the trumpet. There we go.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Shall we see what they sound like?- OK.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06HE PLAYS MELODY
0:23:10 > 0:23:11And now it's your turn.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13You don't want me to recreate that song, do you?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- No. Anything you like. - Anything I like, OK.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20SHE PLAYS MELODY
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Perfect. You're a natural. SHE LAUGHS
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- What about that?- Excellent. - Excellent.
0:23:26 > 0:23:27And what else can I try?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Why don't we try the flutes on this keyboard here?- OK.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Yeah, very good.- Very good. So I can take over next Sunday then?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Absolutely.- Well, this is amazing.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I mean, to be working in Westminster Abbey.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Do you have to pinch yourself everyday?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Sometimes I do, absolutely. And, um,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50the beauty about working here is that every day is different.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53There is no such thing as a standard day or a standard week
0:23:53 > 0:23:54but it is just a wonderful privilege.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59The great thing about playing here is that the big occasions
0:23:59 > 0:24:01are incredibly moving and powerful,
0:24:01 > 0:24:05and sitting on this screen in the middle of Westminster Abbey
0:24:05 > 0:24:10gives you a unique perspective on how the worship is progressing.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11And as well as leading the hymns
0:24:11 > 0:24:15and playing the voluntaries and accompanying the choir...
0:24:15 > 0:24:17the great thing about this organ in particular is,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19it's fantastic liturgically.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I have the ability to be able to change the mood of a service
0:24:23 > 0:24:29from huge triumph to very quiet contemplation.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30THEY SING
0:24:30 > 0:24:33You can almost sense people's mood change from just sitting here.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Back at Kew and I'm going to find out just how vicious
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Christ's-thorn really is.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Tony, now, you're the expert here.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- You're going to give me a lesson in pruning?- I am.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53You're going to need these, Bill, cos it's quite ferocious, this.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Yes. It's got an amazing Latin name, hasn't it, Christ's-thorn?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59It has. It's called Paliurus spina-christi.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- OK.- So, spina-christi is Latin for Christ's-thorn.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06And every two or three winters we go into this
0:27:06 > 0:27:08and we remove some of the dead wood.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11And you'll feel it's very thorny, hence the gloves.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13- I'm going to give you the secateurs. - Right.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16And I'm going to pull this branch back, Bill.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18And you can see a piece of dead wood there
0:27:18 > 0:27:20that needs to come off at the stem.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- This one here?- Yeah.- OK.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Good.- Good. There's another big piece in there, Bill.
0:27:26 > 0:27:27- All right?- Yeah.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- This one?- Yeah.- OK.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Good.- And we just keep going until we've got all these out.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Lovely. Thank you.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Well, there are 132 hectares.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44That's about 326 acres of gardens to explore here at Kew.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Everything from the world's oldest pot plant
0:27:47 > 0:27:50to 40 species of plants that you simply can't find
0:27:50 > 0:27:52anywhere else in the world now.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57Around every corner here there's something amazing and beautiful.
0:27:57 > 0:27:58Shall I have another go?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08# Above all powers
0:28:08 > 0:28:10# Above all kings
0:28:11 > 0:28:16# Above all nature and all created things
0:28:18 > 0:28:21# Above all wisdom
0:28:21 > 0:28:26# And all the ways of man
0:28:26 > 0:28:30# You were here before the world began
0:28:32 > 0:28:36# Above all kingdoms
0:28:36 > 0:28:37# Above all thrones
0:28:39 > 0:28:44# Above all wonders the world has ever known
0:28:45 > 0:28:53# Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
0:28:53 > 0:29:00# There's no way to imagine what you're worth
0:29:00 > 0:29:03# Crucified
0:29:03 > 0:29:06# Laid behind a stone
0:29:06 > 0:29:10# You lived to die
0:29:10 > 0:29:12# Rejected and alone
0:29:12 > 0:29:15# Like a rose
0:29:15 > 0:29:19# Trampled on the ground
0:29:19 > 0:29:22# You took the fall
0:29:22 > 0:29:24# And thought of me
0:29:25 > 0:29:30# Above all
0:29:30 > 0:29:33# Crucified
0:29:33 > 0:29:36# Laid behind a stone
0:29:36 > 0:29:39# You lived to die
0:29:39 > 0:29:42# Rejected and alone
0:29:42 > 0:29:44# Like a rose
0:29:44 > 0:29:48# Trampled on the ground
0:29:48 > 0:29:50# You took the fall
0:29:51 > 0:29:53# And thought of me
0:29:55 > 0:29:58# Above all
0:29:58 > 0:30:01# Like a rose
0:30:01 > 0:30:05# Trampled on the ground
0:30:05 > 0:30:06# You took the fall
0:30:08 > 0:30:10# And thought of me
0:30:12 > 0:30:17# Above all. #
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Now, we all know what this is but will Claire be able to guess?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- Oh, hello.- Hello, Bill. - Had a good day?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39I've had a wonderful day. And I've brought you a treat
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- from Westminster Abbey.- Mm-hm. - It's blackcurrant sage.- Mm-hm?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45And I thought you could maybe plant your own sacred garden.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- Lovely. It'll smell of something like...- Absolutely.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- You get that? The blackcurrant and the sage?- Yeah, very nice.- Lovely.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- Now, you can't really plant anything with this...- No.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55..but can you guess what it is?
0:30:55 > 0:30:58I would say fern, but I'm guessing that's not quite right.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- No. Not quite. If I tell you it's not gold...- Aha.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02..and it's not myrrh.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- It'll be frankincense.- Absolutely.
0:31:04 > 0:31:05- Super.- Well done.- Thank you.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Well.- What a treat. - It'll be a memento of sorts.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Absolutely.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Well, as our visit here to these beautiful gardens comes to an end,
0:31:12 > 0:31:14what better way to finish than with a hymn
0:31:14 > 0:31:18that truly reflects how sacred our green spaces can be?
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- From Claire and me here at Kew Gardens, bye-bye.- Bye-bye.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- Now, have you ever been here before? - I haven't.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- Are you going to show me around? - Yeah, come on.- Lovely. Let's go.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32# For the beauty of the earth...
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Next week, join David and Sally
0:33:30 > 0:33:33as they get away from it all at Ampleforth Abbey near York.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36David learns how to Gregorian chant
0:33:36 > 0:33:40and Sally goes cider tasting in the abbey's ancient orchard
0:33:40 > 0:33:43and there are peaceful and soothing hymns from around the UK.
