We all have within us a need to create beauty.
And we all can in a garden, however small.
It is this need which has written the history of gardens.

– Audrey Hepburn


The incomparable Audrey Hepburn brings nothing less than a transcendent dimension to this highly acclaimed en plein air series. Visually lush, richly informative, Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn serves up a veritable treatise on our most illustrious gardens and cultivated environs.


Each episode sets forth a different garden theme – informed by broader concepts of aesthetic, historical or environmental importance, from masterful archetypes of the Italian Renaissance and 17th Century France, in Formal Gardens, to the world’s first great story of urban renewal,  “The Greening of Paris,” in Public Gardens & Trees.

Notably, many of the life-affirming ideas Audrey Hepburn most cared about presenting in the series – on gardens, on nature, for the well-being of our planet – continue to gain deeper appreciation and awareness around the world today. “I know that for Audrey the making of Gardens of the World was not only a marvelous adventure, but also one of the most rewarding experiences of her life and career," noted Audrey’s life partner, Robert Wolders.
