The nations favourite gardener Guardian There was nothing here that could possibly be described as a garden. But beneath years of neglect was a blank canvas that I could fill with the garden of my dreams.Monty Don invites you into Longmeadow a place that has become synonymous with Gardeners World to show how he creates and tends his own garden and how you can bring some of that same magic to our own.Following the cycle of the seasons Gardening at Longmeadow is a yearlong diary of Montys 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. 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.
