    Cirque du Soleil "Delirium". Sky Arts at 8pm (immediately after The Art of the garden). There was another show last week which was superb.

    New series about contemporary garden designs around the world, The Art of the Garden, starts on Sky Arts (Freeview) at 7 pm this evening.  The first one is about a Dan Pearson designed garden at Lowther Castle, apparently inspired by the gardens at Ninfa near Rome.
    Thank you for that recommendation Jemula, I enjoyed it. I like Dan Pearson's ideas. I remember driving up to the castle before any work had been done and how sad it all  looked now though the transformation is amazing in a laid back sort of way. It's lovely.

    Yes, thanks for the Art of the Garden recommendation - I would never have known about it otherwise. Looks great, though I haven't watched it yet - one for catch up.

    Thanks Uff and LG.  I enjoyed it too - it does sit beautifully in the landscape now and interesting that the owner is gradually rewilding the rest of the estate.  Looking forward to the rest of the series with the other designers.  Have always wanted to visit the gardens at Ninfa.

    Did you see them in Monty Don's Italian series of gardens? His presentation was perfect.

    Yes, I have the DVD box set!  I think Monty is at his best presenting these type of series.

    Yes I agree with you. I have the Japanese set too and that is excellent.

    Just watching this, quite amazing. @Alan Clark2 in Liverpool thank you for recommending it. Can't describe the energy, choreography and enthusiasm.

    Glad you enjoyed it. There is another show next Tuesday (and possibly in following weeks).

    There is a British “ Art of the Garden” series of vids on YouTube. I wonder if it related? 

    I don’t have Freeview, so was hoping to find it online. This vid is a different programme, but might get connected
