The popular Sculpture by the Lakes features as the backdrop in a prime BBC show.

Your Garden Made Perfect, in which designers propose ideas to create the perfect garden space for families, was filmed at the attraction near Dorchester last summer.

Home to more than 40 sculptures and situated in 26 acres of Dorset countryside, Sculpture by the Lake was opened to the public 10 years ago by Simon Gudgeon and his wife, Monique.

The new season of Your Garden Made Perfect started this month on BBC2, in which you can see Sculpture by the Lakes. The series involves garden designers using virtual reality technology to transform families' backyards into the garden of their dreams. Before choosing the right design, the homeowners can experience the visions coming to life though VR goggles.

Monique Gudgeon, head gardener at Sculpture by the Lakes, said: "As a gardener myself, I love watching Your Garden Made Perfect and getting plenty of inspiration.

"I spend lots of my time thinking about how I can improve on the gardens we have here at Sculpture by the Lakes. Currently we're developing a botanical garden and the National Collection of Forsythia.

"It was a pleasure to host the production teams and I hope that filming amongst the greenery at Sculpture by the Lakes has helped to enhance the programme even more."

Your Garden Made Perfect airs on BBC2 on Fridays at 8pm, or past episodes can be found at bbc.co.uk

Sculpture by the Lakes is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm.
