But despite this view, the British have come to accept this garden as part of their own heritage. Yet ask to see a formal 'Dutch' garden in Holland and you'll be shown an 'English" garden.
Hannah Gordon goes dutch to discover the great Dutch gardens both in Britain and in Holland. Producer JOHN BELL

... men like transatlantic yachtsman and cable TV pioneer Ted Turner , who this year launched bids for CBS and MGM ... ; Irwin Jacobs , the Minneapolis financier known as 'Irv the Liquidator'; and T. Boone Pickens , the Texan so rich he named an oilfield after his wife. They are using an armoury of sophisticated financial weapons to hijack major US corporations. Their methods inspire terror in their victims and censure from the authorities, but the raiders go from strength to strength.
Do their exploits threaten the American financial system? Tom Maddocks went to the USA to find out.
