Around the World in 80 Gardens (2008)
Very much enjoyed the look at garden culture worldwide, but missed the mark with US cultural understanding by a mile.
6 July 2015 - 4 out of 6 users found this review helpful.
1. Cultural prejudice was noted in other world episodes, but was not honestly declared in the US segment though it seemed especially evident.
2. Failed to do homework - did not even recognize native American plants when he saw them.
3. Did not note or appreciate the puritan influence in America that would reject emphasis on ornamental planting in favor of food production.
4. Not one average homeowner garden was visited, why?
5. Why visit so many celebrity gardens -as if America was full of celebrates?
