Monty Don's new book is an absolute treat. We know because we were lucky enough to get a sneak preview of it. It didn't disappoint. My Garden World is a celebration of Monty's observations and insights, and it feels relevant to each and every one of us. This is Monty's personal journey through the natural year, month by month, season by season, observed from the immediate world around him.
'From a very early age I loved the countryside as much as any garden and was fascinated by the life that I saw all around me, from trees, wildflowers, birds, insects and mammals,' says Monty. 'In a sense this book has been over sixty years in gestation. I have kept notebooks and journals ever since I could write and I have drawn upon these as well as the events of the past year.' The book is dedicated to his dog Nigel, who sadly passed away earlier this year.
Starting with January and working through the year, Monty recalls what he loves most in his garden, covering everything from flowers and plants to birds and butterflies. You're guaranteed to find plenty to inspire in this latest offering from our favourite gardening guru. Like all of the best gardening books, it's packed with tips, ideas and brilliant ways to make the most of your own outdoor space.
