Publisher's summary

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 60 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.

Great morning read!

Wonderful and insightful! - Thank you for sharing your knowledge and world. Highly recommended for those of all ages (i.e., my toddler enjoyed the audiobook with me and some morning’s would even request ‘Monty Don’). :)

A Lovely Book Written by a Lovely Man

It was so pleasant to listen to the author’s soothing and calm voice as he talked about the everyday wonders of nature. Highly recommend.

Soothing, comforting, a gardener must have.

Monty writes beautifully and as he reads, it fills you up with wonder and gives you hope for the future of your own garden as well as the world around us.

This has a new twist

while you are still in Monty's garden, the focus this time is not the flowers or vegetables. Instead, center stage are the animals, birds and reptiles that have shared his garden through the decades. Typical Monty fashion, he brings them to life, so that we may smile to as we listen to him recount his memories. Highly recommend, but don't get if you are looking for a gardening "how to" book. This is not that.

delicious year-round in the garden

Monty tak s you I to his garden and farm and walks, and talks and explain in the most sensible fashion about everything that surrounds him. His passion for nature is palpable and contagious. I will listen again and offer as gift to two friends.
