Monty Don's Paradise Gardens

Import zonder Nederlandstalige ondertiteling. We are familiar with Monty Don's garden at Longmeadow and enjoy its different rooms every week on Gardeners' world. These have all been mapped out and lovingly created by him. They have been influenced largely by the culture set out by British gardeners using native plants and shrubs that thrive in this soil and climate. Now Monty is going to set off on a journey to find out how a very different culture and climate has influenced garden design in its own way. In this series Monty looks at what marks out a garden in the Islamic world and the influence this has had on gardens much closer to home. His journey starts in the historical and stunning Islamic gardens of Andalucía before heading east to the beating heart of Islam: Turkey, Iran and India. Monty discovers and learns about the four areas of Islamic civilisation; Andalucían, Moghul, Persian and Ottoman, by visiting gardens that represent and symbolise each. Across his journey he discovers the huge importance of gardens in Islamic culture. Includes subtitles for the Hard of Hearing
