This lecture series explores the inspiration behind some of the great gardens of the world, from meditation to images of paradise and the use of brilliant color and innovative plant forms. Each garden is a vision of a perfect natural world, one where superb design blends harmoniously with the extraordinary cultivation of plants, flowers, and trees. Each is a window onto the culture and aspirations, as well as the inspirations, of their creators.
