Hide AdSpeaking about the visit The Hepworth’s website, Katy said: "The Hepworth Wakefield Garden was designed by landscape architect and garden designer, Tom Stuart-Smith to have as much year-round interest as possible, so that as a living composition, you could come and see it every few weeks and there would always be something new to see.
"With the filming scheduled for the end of August, we felt it was a great time to shine a spotlight on the beauty of late summer.
“After a rainy season we were fortunate to have a dry day for filming.
"It was lovely to stand with Errol in the low afternoon sunshine and reflect on the dramatic transformation that this space has undergone in just four years – an unloved piece of waste ground, now a flower-filled garden for everyone to enjoy.”

"Elsewhere, Rekha Mistry shares her successes and failures in her new vegetable garden in the Peak District, and Errol Reuben Fernandes heads to a contemporary garden in the centre of Wakefield that's bringing a community together.”
