Episode 1

Monty begins his trek in a prairie, the original American flowering wilderness, only to find much of it has disappeared. In New York, he explores vegetables being grown on the city's rooftops, visits an enthusiastic allotment community in the Bronx and learns about the history of America's most famous public green space, Central Park. In Philadelphia, Monty examines one of the country's most famous gardens and enjoys a modern version of a prairie garden.
