Sir Frederick and Lady Sybil Stern created a very special chalk garden at Highdown between the years 1909 and 1972. The gardens are famed for the diversity of the chalk adapted plant species that the Sterns introduced and which continue to thrive to the present day. In this film people who worked for the Sterns and those whose parents worked for the Sterns, recall the couple and their lives at Highdown. This film brings to life not only the Stern's success as gardeners, it also gives an insight into their lives as wealthy benefactors and their links with the local communities in Goring and Ferring.
