Premiering as the highest rating ARTE show on a Saturday slot, this beautiful series seeks out the most picturesque gardens throughout Europe. Featuring one location per episode – from grand, sweeping estates to the picture perfect smaller garden with an organic vegetable patch – the stunning show combines lush landscapes with helpful insider tips for the home, kitchen and garden.

From the lavender and sunflower coloured Provence to the rugged landscape of the Lake District to Madeira’s island setting, the show brings us panoramas and gardens of inspirational beauty. Aerial views are captured from heights of up to 200 feet, providing breathtaking bird’s-eye perspectives. Striking seasonal variations are captured as the gardens and landscapes are shown at different times of the year. Personal tales from gardeners young and old give much insight into the coveted life of rural idyll and tranquillity, showing how some people really do fulfil their lifelong dreams of escaping to the country.

Spectacular, informative and inspiring, Country Dreams has something to offer all viewers, from amateur city gardeners to dedicated professionals alike.
