World Garden (1941)

More from our archives: http://film.britishcouncil.org/britis...

The British Council Film Collection is an archive of more than 120 short documentary films made by the British Council during the 1940s designed to show the world how Britain lived, worked and played. Preserved by the BFI National Film Archive and digitised by means of a generous donation by Google, the films are now yours to view, to download and to play with for the first time.

Shot in glorious technicolour, perfect for capturing the vibrancy of hues on display, World Garden explores the diverse flora and fauna of Kew Gardens.

Encompassing plants from the tropics, Saharan Africa and continental Europe, we unearth the wealth of specimens held within the illustrious gardens, also going 'behind the scenes' to gain insight into the vast archives of information held on the world's botany.
