A Gardening Classic 2007-01-18
These videos are not dated in spite of being made over a decade ago before the death of Audrey Hepburn. With voiceovers by Michael York and the enchanting Miss Hepburn leading you through some of the most beautiful gardens on the world you will enjoy every minute of this series. If only there had been time to make more of these episodes before her death! Do yourself a favor and grab these before they go out of print forever.
True Beauties of the World 2006-10-10
This is a magnificent DVD about natural beauty. As an avid gardener I loved the superb creations shown on the program; especially striking were the scenes from Holland and Somerset. The accompanying music is perfect.
Even so, it is the lovely presence and presentation of Ms. Hepburn that makes this truly special. Talk about iconic beauty! Her grace, peace and warm features are the perfect complement to her natural surroundings. I loved it! It's a great value as well, three long DVDs at 25 bucks or less. Highly recommended.
DVD Picture Quality Not Up To The Digital Standard We Expect Today 
2006-10-07
While the original TV release of this series in 1993 was beautiful to behold, both in content and picture quality, both the earlier and latest DVD presentations leave much to be desired. The original 2000 release by Perennial Entertainment was just OK, as far as picture quality goes, and the latest September 2006 release from Kultur is certainly no better. I would say they are both from the same video tape master. The series was shot on film, and then transferred to either 1" video tape or SP Betacam for world-wide TV release, and by the look of the picture quality of both DVD versions, they could have been transferred from a poor quality VHS tape. When enlarged onto a front projection screen, the picture quality deteriorates badly. Be warned, the latest edition is no better than the previous version.
I was expecting and hoping for much more information and insight on Audrey Hepburn and the making of 'Gardens of the World' in the 'newly' included documentary "In Pursuit of Beauty - Audrey Hepburn's Gardens of the World Grand Tour" which is included on disc 3 in the new release. This is NOT a documentary in the true sense. It is a series of very poor quality "on location" shots complete with a few outtakes, several bloopers and many clapper boards, and a few scenes from the completed sequences thrown in for good measure. The interviews with Miss Hepburn are also featured in the earlier version. The picture and sound quality of this 45 minute ramble is terrible.
All in all, in my opinion, this new version is a waste of money IF you have the 2000 version in your collection. Such a disappointment because it was truly a remarkable and visually beautiful series with a most elegant and serene Audrey Hepburn. I'd give it 5 stars for Miss Hepburn's presentation and its content, but only 2 stars for video quality.
A Visual feast 2006-08-02
For garden lovers everywhere, this superb dvd shows many fine european gardens in various styles. A delight to watch and the commentary by Audrey Hepburn is as enjoyable as the picture. A charming legacy left by a gracious actress. Highly recommended
