This affordable DVD collection of half-hour segments is an absolute delight for lovers of gardens and nature alike. The gardens, flowers, and scenery are exquisite. The photography is first-rate--almost high definition at times--,and the musical accompaniment gently caresses the ear. What makes these videos more meaningful is the fact that the owners of the gardens themselves provide the commentary and thus speak from actual experience about the design and care of the gardens. The infinite variety and beauty of the flowers make you appreciate the wisdom of God's creative work. Whether you actively watch it or simply have the videos play as beautiful background images, the experience is extremely pleasurable and soothing, especially in our critical and stressful times.

Well worth the money. Very beautiful and relaxing. I never tire of watching them (all four discs) !!!

Splendid, simply splendid! These are the gardens and homes you just dream about. I wish I could have even a portion of just one of them. This series will inspire you, relax you and just make you happy that it is possible to create such works of art. Love it!

This is a very good DVD if you like the subject matter. However, please beware that this collection is a re-compilation of two sets still offered for sale on AMAZON. This set contains the 4 disks from "Great Gardens of England - Gardener's View" and the two disks of "Gardens of the National Trust". I returned this set since I already had the other two.

This was a requested Christmas gift to my wife. As a Master Gardener, landscape designer and horticulturist, I knew I couldn't go wrong with this as a gift. I was stationed in England many years ago, and as we have watched these videos, both my wife and I have enjoyed them. Very well done. Photography and narration.
