Monty Don’s French Gardens 1×1 – Gardens of Power and Passion
Monty Don's French Gardens
Monty Don he tells the stories behind France’s most important historic gardens. These include elaborate walled gardens designed to please the mistress – and then the wife – of a king, magnificent displays of flowers and fountains that involved thousands of soldiers moving tracts of land and incited violent jealousy in another monarch, and a modern-day chateau garden that came close to bankrupting its owner. Monty sees how throughout history the French have used gardens as a public expression of money, power and passion.
