Around the World in 80 Gardens
Monty continues his journey through the gardens of India this evening, at 7pm on BBC 2.
Monty sets off tonight on a technicolour tour of India, taking in some of the most opulent and heavenly gardens in human history, including perhaps the most famous garden in the world, the Taj Mahal.
The highlights include the great Mughal tomb gardens, the sumptous water palace gardens at Deeg. the Edwin Lutyens -designed garden city of New Delhi, the spice and tea gardens of Kerala and a 1930 s throw back English Surburban garden on the site of an old railway station. The highlight for me is the discovery of the Rock Garden at Chandigargh, a unique rock and sculpture garden little known in the west.
Tune in 7pm tonight.
