The great impressionist Monet was also a passionate horticulturalist and created his most inspirational subject on his own doorstep: Giverny is a garden that was planted to be painted. With unprecedented access to Giverny this film follows a year in the life of the garden from the first blossom of spring, through the vibrant colours of summer, to the rich oranges and russets of early autumn. Finally we see the garden being dismantled and put to bed for the winter. There are also interviews with artists who discuss Monet's work and the water lily garden that was Monet's preoccupation later in his life and the subject of the Water Lily series of paintings.
