Greece

Monty begins the last leg of his journey in Corfu, a Greek island with strong Venetian links, including olive trees planted by them that are still grown today. Here, Monty visits a spectacular garden made by an Englishman with Greek connections, as well as meeting up with the widow of the English writer Gerald Durrell, who takes him up into the mountains on a wildflower trail. Next, Monty travels to Greece’s capital, Athens, and the place where the study of botany first began. As well as the Royal Gardens, which act as a green lung through the city and provide much needed shade from the Mediterranean summers, Monty visits a reforestation project on Mount Hymettus and two modern gardens in and around the city. Finally, he rolls up his sleeves and gets to work on a garden he has helped to create on another Greek island.
