Gardening at Longmeadow

Product Information

Alongside his rich, personal experiences at Longmeadow, Monty describes the individual plants coming into their own in the floral and vegetable gardens and talks you through key tasks, from composting and lawn maintenance to topiary clipping and fruit pruning. By telling Nigel’s story, Monty relates his relationships with the other special dogs in his life in a memoir of his dogs past and very much present. I love his show and how he presents information but it is not always applicable to my living conditions.

No missing or damaged pages, no tears, possible very minimal creasing, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Following the cycle of the seasons, Gardening at Longmeadow is a year-long diary of Monty’s gardening wisdom: from the earliest snowdrops of January and the first splashes of colour in the Spring Garden, to the electric summer displays of the Jewel Garden and the autumn harvest in the orchard. He has written a weekly gardening column for the Daily Mail since 2004, and published over 20 books, including the bestsellers Down to Earth , Nigel: My Family and Other Dogs , and My Garden World . A journey through beautiful Islamic gardens across the world, with photographs by the acclaimed Derry Moore.He has been lead presenter of Gardeners' World since 2003 and since 2011 the programme has come from his own garden, Longmeadow, in Herefordshire. I live in Vancouver, WA and I CANNOT get away without watering (nearly) every night during the hot season.

Now, he travels across America with celebrated photographer Derry Moore to trace the fascinating histories of outdoor spaces which epitomize or redefine the American garden. By the way, I have a book review meme on the 20th of every month, and I invite you to add this, if you would like. Monty, currently President of the Soil Association, the main body for organic regulation in Britain, has always been a passionate advocate of organic gardening and working with nature.I found to be the more engaging by reading it as such, month to month through my own gardening year, and I found it to be a joy. I have liked Monty Don since he wrote a column in the Guardian years and years ago… several of his books have caught my eye, including a recipe book!

Much like his style on TV this is a relaxing read, the information is passed on in his skilled conversational manner. Monty Don invites you into Longmeadow, a place that has become synonymous with Gardener's World , to show how he creates and tends his own garden, and how you can bring some of that same magic to our own.
