Monty Don in New Zealand

Anyone watching tonight enjoyed it more this week compared to last week.

 

Haven't seen it yet Scotkat. I'm just about to go and watch the tape. But I would agree that last week was a bit disappointing.

 

You will so enjoy

 

I liked the Mexican jungly garden last week, haven't watched this week's yet, but will do so on Tuesday when it's repeated. I'll be most interested, having been to Oz and NZ.

 

Beautiful gardens in oz and n/zealand he doesn't go into enough detail about specific plants,how can anyone walk past a beautiful brugmansia and not mention it, those tree ferns in n/z were something else.

 

I missed it... so it's worth seeing is it Scotkat?
Hel.xxx.

 

I agree Walnut - the bit that was missing was the names of individual plants and descriptions of them.

 

The large New Zealand garden was to die for
A much better programme than the previous week

Thanks Woo I missed it and wanted to see the New Zealand one

Around the World in 80 Gardens
Tue 5 Feb, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm 60mins

Australia and New Zealand

Monty Don continues his extraordinary journey to see the world through 80 of its most inspiring gardens, and travels to Australia and New Zealand, two of the youngest gardening cultures in the world.

Setting out from Botany Bay, he uncovers a story of culture clashes and plant invasions, where the gentle habits of the indigenous people and the extraordinary natural landscapes have been replaced with imported plants and an English garden style.

In need of native plants, Monty sets off in search of the wild heart of New Zealand, where he revels in a magical rainforest garden created entirely of native plants. [AD,S]
