In this six-week installment of “Gardens of the World” we will travel to some of my favorite gardens in France, Italy, Germany, and Spain. Come visit Claude Monet’s garden in Giverny France, beautiful island villa gardens of Northern Italy, some of the most stunning gardens along the Mediterranean, and so much more. As we tour these gardens, I’ll identify gardening lessons we can learn and apply in our own gardens!
December brings the official start of winter and the year’s shortest day. Despite this, gardens in the South are full of color and interesting plants that look their best in the winter. Tour around the JC Raulston Arboretum’s grounds virtually as Doug shows us some of his favorite plants with winter interest.
