“I have written many gardening books but this is the distillation of 50 years of gardening experience. It has all the tips and essential pieces of knowledge that enable you to make your garden grow well, and it also shares my view that gardening is the secret to living well too.” – Monty
Oh I have always very much admired Monty Don.
His new book has just been released and I was so excited to be sent a copy to review.
Written as he talks, this is Monty Don right beside you in the garden, challenging norms and sharing advice. Month-by-month, Monty reveals the jobs he does in his own garden, that he hopes are relevant to you. Discover Monty’s thoughts and musings on nature, seasons, colour, design, pests, flowering shrubs, containers, and much more. Monty’s intimate and lyrical writing is accompanied by photos of his own garden.The perfect gift for the gardener in your life.
This book is a pure delight – Monty is straightforward and yet also a complete delight to read and you feel as if he has a great understanding of a regular in comparison to a professional gardeneber. You can put we ht he suggest into practice because he gets real gardening and that’s what is so great about his book. It also makes it very aptly titled!
