Traces of China In Europe ••• Traces of China 01: Gardens

 

In the early 1700s, a radical new garden style arose in England and dramatically overhauled centuries of rigid French and Italian styles that dominated the gardens of Europe. In this episode we unveil the captivating story of how Chinese influences have subtly dug their way into the fabric of England's cherished country gardens. We trace the historical voyage of exotic plants from the Far East to the rolling landscapes of English estates.
