PICK OF THE DAY

MONTY DON’S AMERICAN GARDENS

8.30PM, BBC2 ★★★★★ The green-fingered presenter’s fascinating series is coming to an end this week as he goes west. Monty heads to arid Arizona, where the gardens are a little different – gone are traditional plants, replaced by amazing, huge cacti. The temperatures reach 50°C, and the flora are adapted perfectly. He next visits Palm Springs and Los Angeles, home to the rich and famous, to see how the other half garden – you’ll be left inspired and envious. Monty’s final stop is rainy Seattle and its nearby tropical oasis, Windcliff (right).

THE GREEK ISLANDS WITH JULIA BRADBURY

8PM, ITV ★★★★

Anyone who’s visited Santorini will know how luxurious it is, but it was once one of the Aegean’s poorest islands.
