Description
Content description from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardens_of_the_World_with_Audrey_Hepburn):
Gardens of the World with Audrey Hepburn is a 1990s documentary television series filmed on location in some of the world's most beautiful, noteworthy gardens, hosted by Audrey Hepburn, who also co-narrates the series with Michael York.
Audrey Hepburn, who loved nature and gardens, saw a rare opportunity to bring forth their beauty in poetic and meaningful ways in Gardens of the World. Her unique vision of the series included fusing the historical and aesthetic aspects with the arts of literature, music and painting. She was awarded her Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement, Informational Programming, posthumously in the fall of 1993.
"Japanese Gardens" evidences Japan's timeless cultural reverence for the natural world in the gardens of Kyoto: from the ancient moss temple garden of Saiho-ji and Karesansui-style gardens at Ryoan-Ji, Daisen-In and Ryogen-En, to the borrowed landscapes of Shinyodo, the extensive pond gardens of the Heian Shrine and the formal stroll garden at Shinshin-An.
