Episode 4 of 10

Monty Don visits the private garden of Brazilian artist Burle Marx in Rio, the floating gardens of the Amazon, a ranch in the windy Pampas and a picturesque garden on the Pacific coast of Chile.

Monty Don visits the world's 80 most inspiring gardens. This time, he is in South America, a continent twice the size of Europe and the home of more than 50,000 endemic plant species.

In Rio de Janeiro, Monty visits the private garden of a famous Brazilian artist, Burle Marx. Also, he views the ingenious floating gardens of the Amazon and visits a crumbling estancia (ranch) in the windy Pampas. He ends his journey on the Pacific coast of Chile in a garden that sits harmoniously in its landscape.
