BBC Two - Monty Don's Adriatic Gardens, Series 1, Episode 2

Beginning in Trieste, Monty heads down Croatia's coast in the footsteps of the Venetians.

Beginning in Trieste, Monty heads down the Croatian coast in the footsteps of the Venetians. He visits a public garden created by an obsessive plantsman and is given a tour of ancient olive groves.

Monty begins in the city of Trieste, close to Italy’s border with Croatia, to visit a public garden first created by an obsessive royal plantsman more than 150 years ago, which is now being carefully restored. He then heads down the Adriatic coast through Croatia to pick up the trail that the Venetians followed, ending his journey on the beautiful island of Lopud, near Dubrovnik. Along the way, he discovers spectacular natural lakes and wildflowers, is given a tour of ancient olive groves, discovers a nursery where over 200 varieties of Iris – the national flower of Croatia – can be found, and is allowed into one of only two monastic gardens in the whole country.
