Monty Don's Paradise Gardens

Monty Don begins his quest for the secrets of paradise gardens in Spain, where he discovers their basic building blocks. In Morocco, he sees the wide variety of paradise gardens, from an enormous royal walled meadow to a secret inner-city courtyard. And in the Iranian desert, he uncovers the mystery to their creation.

Monty explores the different visions of paradise gardens created by other cultures. In Istanbul, he marvels at sacred tulips and delights in nature at the gardens of the Ottoman Empire. In India he discovers the spirituality of tomb gardens, and then back in the UK, he reveals the surprising influence that paradise gardens have had on royal gardens and public spaces.
