Summary
Pathe synopsis: When modern science is applied to an age-old craft, you expect surprises. In Chelsea, London, we see how gardening methods have been brought up to date: a lawn mower operated by remote control, sprinklers built into the lawn and an all-electric greenhouse with so many gadgets that a gardener has practically nothing to do - except study electricity.
