"Around the World in 80 Gardens" was a television series of 10 programmes in which British gardener and broadcaster Monty Don visited 80 of the world's most celebrated gardens. The series was filmed over a period of 18 months and was first broadcast on BBC Two at 9pm on successive Sundays, from 27 January to 30 March 2008, and was accompanied by a book (ISBN 0297844504). The title of the programme was a reference to Jules Verne's novel "Around the World in Eighty Days", and is a spiritual successor to Dan Cruickshank's earlier television series, "Around the World in 80 Treasures", first broadcast in 2005.
