We've just watched this and have enjoyed it so much. The wonderful
alleys of cactus in Mexico and the floating gardens were such a
delight - I'd never heard of the latter at all and aren't they bright
and beautiful. And the dear little, loved and beautifully tended
allotment gardens in the heart of Cuba were inspirational in
themselves.
Just from a brief trailer pic we think we recognised Lotus Land in
California but whatever he's going to show us has started so
promisingly.

I thought that far too much time was spent on architecture (especially the
Luis Barragan stuff - how many shocking pink walls can you look at?), and
far too little time on plants.

If you want an interesting read, try "1001 Gardens you must see before you
die" by Rae Spencer Jones. It covers gardens across the world, and includes
the Mexican gardens from the TV programme. I'm slowly making my way through
all the gardens - at the current rate I will live to 539...
