Around the World in 80 Gardens (2008)

British gardening enthusiast Monty Don believes that the best way to understand a culture is to visit its gardens. As such, he travels around the world visiting eighty gardens, some public, famous and iconic, and others private, mostly unknown but no less fascinating. Some of these gardens challenge his notion of the term garden, whether it be as a noun or a verb. Along the way, he speaks to many gardeners, landscapers and garden designers to learn the history, present and future of the gardens and sometimes of the culture in which they exist.
