What do our gardens say about us?Monty Don has spent many years travelling the world, from America to Japan, from Italy and the Adriatic to Spain and the Mediterranean, getting under the skin of a country through its gardens and gardening traditions. In British Gardens, he finally brings his focus to home, journeying from the northern tip of Scotland to the Cornish coast, seeking to understand what our gardens tell us about ourselves as a nation.Encompassing historical gardens and public parks, mountains and seascapes, urban gardens and rural nurseries, glasshouses and community plots, each encounter is another link in a larger story of British identity marks of ingenuity, eccentricity, and adaptation to changing environments. From Northumbrias Alnwick Gardens and Beatrix Potters Lake District farmhouse to the rewilded walled garden on the Knepp Estate and the story of Britains first garden gnome, Montys account brings in an astonishing range of British experience.Accompanied by a landmark fivepart series on BBC2, and illustrated by stunning photography from Montys longtime collaborator Derry Moore, British Gardens is a definitive, and uniquely British, account of a nation like no other.
