TITLE

Southeast Asia

Overview

Follow Monty Don, a renowned BBC broadcaster and gardening expert, in his explorations of 80 of the world's most celebrated gardens. Monty Don's journey emphasizes how gardens are a reflection of a culture and its history, personalizing his exploration and evolution of ideas about what a garden truly is.

In This Episode

Since the nineteenth century, Western gardeners have harboured a stereotype image of the perfect exotic garden and Monty visits the pre-eminent of these - the mysterious Jim Thompson's Garden in Bangkok. He then pushes on to Singapore, 'a City in a Garden', before finally touching down in the lush and sensuous island of Bali, where what he learns about Southeast Asian gardens surprises him.
