I bought this as a present for my father who is passionate about gardening. Sadly after having two strokes he is unable to spend hours in the garden like he use to. However, this DVD definitely brought him out of his sofa and into beautiful gardens of the world. Due to his ailment my father is unable to say many words but there were a lot of enthusiastic "oohing" and "aahhhing" and a couple of "Wows." I am not a huge gardener - my wilted potted plants and dying tomatoes are testament to that. Nevertheless, I did enjoy this DVD as well. I never thought that watching an elderly Holly Golightly rave about stunning flowers and fountains would make a fun afternoon but it did!

My order arrived fast and was what l had ordered online.
I like to watch this DVD whilst working out on my cross trainer.....
it takes my mind off the repetitive excercise and off to somewhere else that is beautiful.
The DVD is very informative about the actual plants, planting types and styles of gardening.
Audrey is a very gracious and lovely presenter the whole thing is very enjoyable.

beauty and serenity
This is pure beauty - looking at this when too tired to clean the house, life is OK. Winter around us, does not matter: let's take a walk in the garden. Happiness, it is.

A rose among thorns
Audrey Hepburn is a delight to watch and listen to. She is as elegant as the gardens she takes us to. Much of the commentary is from Michael York. Read more

Not boring - but . . .
This DVD unfortunately never really caught my interest - would not say that it is downright boring, but there was definitely no WOW effect
