Summary

Pathe synopsis: Let’s not lose sight of the fact that even a rock pool can be artificial. We came to Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire to find out more about this gardening revolution, and revolution it certainly is. Fibreglass - that’s the secret and there’s even a thriving industry in the growing of water plants and breeding of ornamental fish. Flowers, it seems, are not the only essential for the gardener who likes a splash of colour.
