Summary

Pathe synopsis: A nasty tumble in the rockery or a headlong trip slap into the herbaceous border may not be pleasant, but it is unlikely to be fatal. But to the gardeners of the Parks Committee, in Northfleet, however, safety belts are always worn - for the very good reason that they work on land adjoining a chalk quarry with a sheer drop of over 100 feet.
