Monty travels from Corfu, which possesses strong Venetian links, to the Greek capital of Athens, where he visits a reforestation project and two spectacular modern gardens.
Monty begins the last leg of his journey in Corfu, a Greek island with strong links to Venice, including olive trees planted by the Venetians that are still grown today. Here, Monty visits a spectacular garden made by an Englishman with Greek connections, as well as meeting up with English writer Gerald Durrell's widow, who takes Monty up into the mountains on a wildflower trail.
Next, Monty travels to Greece’s capital, Athens, the place where the study of botany first began. As well as the Royal Gardens, which act as a green lung through the city and provide much needed shade from the Mediterranean summers, Monty visits a reforestation project on Mount Hymettus and two modern gardens in and around the city.
Finally, he rolls up his sleeves and gets to work on a garden he has helped to create on another Greek island.
