Monty Don's Italian Gardens

Episode 2: Florence

Duration: 59 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Monty Don is on a grand tour around Italy, this time visiting gardens both in Florence and around the sun-scorched Tuscan countryside. Monty discovers how, like a piece of sculpture, Renaissance gardens were created as works of art, and how a group of Edwardian expats mistakenly reinforced the idea that formal Italian gardens were flowerless.
