This is Monty Don right beside you in the garden, challenging norms and sharing advice.

'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)

I have never written a review before but felt that I ought to. I’m new to gardening so any help is most welcome. I absolutely love listening to this and as soon as I’ve written this with you would’ve read and listen to it once again and I’m sure I will listen to it many times after that. Thank you Monty
