Season 1
Monty Don explores the 19th century. As a result of an expanding empire, scientific and technological innovation and social change, British gardens became more exotic, more colourful and more accessible than ever before.
Monty bases himself at Rousham House in Oxfordshire, designed by one of the first practitioners of the landscape movement, William Kent. It has survived almost unchanged since its completion in 1741.
Monty Don explores the stories behind four of the country's most important gardens, unpacking their fascinating secrets to reveal how the British garden has evolved over the past 400 years.
