Editorial Reviews
Gardening KnowHow magazine, December 1998
On the other side of the Atlantic, the "London Observer" gardening columnist Monty Don collected 48 of his insightful, entertaining columns for "Gardening Mad." No matter which essay you choose to read, a nugget of knowledge and a grin at his pithy wit are sure to be your reward.
Book Description
Humorous, charmingly idiosyncratic, full of trenchant observations and great tips, Monty Don entertains and educates the armchair gardener and the passionate life-long gardener alike. His essays are complimented by the exquisite photographs of Fleur Olby, which capture the sensuality of plants and flowers with an unusually striking grace.
Composed around the calendar year, this visually stunning vork covers a great melange of subjects, including "Valentine Roses," "Novice Gardening," "Apples," "RED!," "New Age Gardening," "Christmas Trees," and "Neighbors." Monty Don writes about gardening as an experience, rather than a particular science, integrating hard work, vitality, and esprit in an enthusiastic examination of the gardening life.
