Historian recreates 18th-century city garden [audio 6min]

Nowadays there's the sense that anyone can aspire to a garden, even if it's only a window box or a pot of basil in the kitchen. At the beginning of the 18th century this was a new phenomenon. Gradually city dwellers began to realise that it wasn't just their country cousins who could have a patch of green to call their own. Jenny Uglow, author of A Little History of British Gardening (Chatto and Windus), shows Katy Hickman how this period is reflected in her own garden.
