Monty Don made a triumphant return to our screens as presenter of
Gardeners' World. A firm favourite with viewers, Monty's infectious
enthusiasm for plants, attention to the finer details of gardening
technique and easy charm have seen the ratings soar. Here Monty invites
us into the garden at Longmeadow, to show us how he created this
beautiful garden, and how we can do the same in our own. Following the
cycle of the seasons, Gardening at Longmeadow will introduce readers
to the garden from the earliest snowdrops of January through the first
splashes of colour in the Spring Garden, the electric summer displays of
the Jewel Garden, the autumn harvest in the orchard, and on to a
Christmas feast sourced from the vegetable gardens. Describing the magic
of each area at different times of the year, Monty will explain the
basics of what to do when and how to get the most from each plant. He'll
talk through the essential techniques and more complex processes,
accompanied by easy-to-follow, step-by-step photography. Longmeadow is a
gardeners' garden, but this will be a book for gardening enthusiasts of
all skill levels who have been inspired by what they've seen, and who
would like to achieve something similar for themselves.
