The incomparable Audrey Hepburn in her Emmy Award winning and final performance before the camera, brings nothing less than a transcendant dimension to this highly acclaimed en plein air series.
Visually lush, richly informative, refreshing and beautiful, Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn serves up a veritable treatise on our most illustrious cultivated environs.
Each episode sets forth a different garden theme - informed by broader concepts of aesthetic, historical or environmental importance, from masterful archetypes of the Italian Renaissance and 17th Century France to the world's first great story of urban renewal, "The Greening of Paris". Audrey Hepburn's love of nature and gardens, her appreciation of simple honest beauty in the world, imbue her every phrase and gesture in this landmark and delightful definitive world tour of stately gardens.
"Perhaps if we now take a closer look at our gardens we will better understand how to find a way to save our lovely earth. Have we not lost sight of our only source of life? Or have we at least awakened to the fragility of our beautiful planet? " - Audrey Hepburn
