Monty’s new series Adriatic Gardens will be released in January 2022.
It sees him travelling to the Adriatic coast to the gardens of Venice, Croatia and Greece.
The official synopsis reads: “Monty travels to Europe and explores the influence of the Venetians, from their home city at the top of the Adriatic coast and on through Croatia and Greece.
“Visiting a range of public and private gardens, Monty learns about the impact that history, climate change and culture have had on the people who live there.”
The BBC has teased how each of the three episodes will focus on a different location.
Episode one is about Venice and will air on BBC Two on January 7, 2022.
The broadcaster will visit the Grand Canal, St Mark’s Square and even a disused rubbish dump transformed into a garden.
Monty shared on Twitter earlier this year how he’d filmed the series in June.
