Gardeners' World's Monty Don has published over twenty best-selling books and worked at some of the worlds most spectacular gardens.

In his latest series he examines the Japanese gardens and the seasons and ceremonies that shape them.

Monty Don, Celebrity Gardener:

[On living locally]

"I went to school at a funny little boarding school in Crowthorne called Bigshotte School, and I lived in a funny little place in Hampshire near Odiham.

"When we went over into Berkshire the soil became acidic soil [so much more different to life in Hampshire] and I've never been able to grow those plants since.

[On Japan]

"We're talking about azaleas and camellias, and pines... the whole vocabulary of plants is so different to ours."
