Prisoners enter the Hampton Court Flower show
In a medium to minimum security prison in England, a new program is started to teach inmates how to garden in preparation for their parole. In the meantime, they make the prison grounds look nice. This is an unlikely group of gardeners, one short timer and three lifers, one of whom is dying of cancer. The four of them learn gardening from books written by a Ms. Woodhouse, who later hires them all in a sort of work release project renovating a garden in a local estate. There are many twists and turns and surprises, but the gardeners find their way to Hampton Court and happiness in the end. Helen Mirren, Clive Owen and the rest of the cast are perfect in their parts and the story is very good.
