What to expect

'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. 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.'

A year at home in the country with Monty Don - the UK's favourite gardener, dog owner, writer and broadcaster - on a personal journey through the natural year, season by season, month by month.

My Garden World by Monty Don is a celebration of every living creature that we all share. This year has given us the enforced opportunity to learn more about the fascinating natural world around us. Whether you live in the countryside or the town, Monty's observations and insights are relevant to each and every one of us. My Garden World is Monty Don's personal journey through the natural year, month by month, season by season, observed from the immediate world around him.

'Wildlife is not something that we watch happening in remote and exotic parts of the world on our screens, but right here in our own back yards and the more that we encourage it and learn to live with it, the more rewarding it becomes.

If, in our own modest back yards, we can help preserve and treasure our natural world then we will make the world a better place -- not just for ourselves but for every living creature.'

Critics Review

  • As familiar as a cup of tea and similarly as heartening, Monty Don is something of a gardening legend… this is a very timely and relevant celebration of the world immediately around us – at a time when we really need it.

    Cotswold Life

  • Full of warmth and affection

    Edinburgh Evening News

  • *Best Christmas Releases* — While some gardeners appear bent on suppressing nature, Monty Don loves and works with it. His new book is a celebration of the living world, through which he walks us, following the calendar year, pausing to observe everything from hares to hawthorn. His world is one big garden of delights.

    Saga

  • Both informative and personal

    Argus (Brighton)

  • Really rather wonderful. Not only is it a celebration of all that grows in his garden, but of everything else living there too… Every page a joy.

    Nigel Slater

  • *Best gardening books of 2020*. This is a gentle and soulful read, full of little “a-ha” moments, that takes us through a calendar year of garden wildlife observations.
