00:21 Well this is my favourite time of the year I've got to be honest it kick-starts
00:25 Christmas for me because the garden transforms into this magical fairy tale
00:30 Harry Potter landscape where you get these episodes of what I would say is
00:34 horticultural brilliance combined with lighting technology so you go into a
00:39 world where you see dandelion seeds floating above you and the Cathedral of
00:43 Lights the field full of crocuses which is brand new all rainbow colours and
00:48 they're just so unexpected to see lighting on that scale and to link it
00:53 with the gardens is just spectacular so I absolutely love it.
00:56 Dragonflies over the pond which look great and again I think that's one of
01:00 those kind of unexpected moments where you're walking along you just do not
01:04 expect to see that and and they look they look they look realistic and when
01:07 they're on a scale that's obviously out there but you look at them you think no
01:11 that actually could come to life quite easily. It's part of what we're trying to
01:14 do we don't want to just have lights for the sake of it so we're trying to take
01:18 parts of the garden, take certain flowers, certain cycles, oh it's off the scale
01:23 this is the best I've ever seen it it really is knockout. What you see when you
01:27 come in here it'll live with you all year and it'll just fill your heart
01:31 with Christmas joy I know that that sounds a bit cliched but I mean the guys
01:36 who've done this display are just they're the best in the world at what
01:39 they do and we love using them because they're sensitive to heritage sites etc
01:43 so you're getting this wow experience which if you imagine being in a Harry
01:47 Potter movie and seeing the the wizards play with nature and play with the
01:50 flowers this is what you get and every year we try to get better at the power
01:54 we're using and we use less we don't have generators now it's 90% LED lights
02:00 so we're trying to get more sustainable all the time you know if you get the
02:02 chance come see it.
