However, if fans are wondering if they can visit, the short answer is no, Longmeadow is not open to the public. Warning against fans who might be tempted to make the journey, Monty tweeted a few years ago: "Can I make clear that LONGMEADOW IS NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. Not on Fridays or any other day. You can 'visit' via GW only." What is Monty Don's net worth? Known as Longmeadow garden, there's plenty to admire, including an abundance of beautiful plants providing year-round colour, symmetrical beds centred upon a water feature, an orchard providing over 50 different varieties of apples, and topiary of his golden retriever Nigel. While the soil, weather, and temperatures are very different where I live, there is still a lot of information that is applicable. While items such as when to sow certain seeds needs to be adjusted for my climate, the task itself is the same. The how-to instructions are great. Monty also shares insights into life and how gardening is a positive influence on him. With something for seasoned gardeners and green-fingered novices alike, don’t miss the opportunity to join Monty for a timely and thought-provoking celebration of the ever-surprising and comforting presence of nature. He says people in Britain do not know enough about American gardens — and he sought to resolve that. Finally, he got approval to film in 2019, and he made the companion book with photographer Derry Moore. Over the course of three episodes released in January 2020 on BBC, Monty visits community gardens in New York and historical gardens in the South plus the Arizona desert and the West Coast.Following the cycle of the seasons, Gardening at Longmeadow is a year-long diary of Monty's 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. The result is a very personal account of failure, bewilderment and surprise, as well as endless pleasure and some success over the course of a gardening year. Don has described himself primarily as a writer, "who happens to have lots of television work." [9] By the early 1990s, Don had written two unpublished novels, The Clematis Affair and An Afternoon in Padua. He later described them as "excruciatingly bad". [47] In January 1994, Allan Jenkins, then editor of The Observer, invited Don to write a weekly gardening column for the newspaper. The column began in February of that year and lasted until May 2006; Jenkins was his editor for seven years. [9] In a piece from 2004 to commemorate the tenth year of the column, Don wrote: "It has been more life-changing than any other work I have done in my adult life." [48] Don has written articles for the Daily Mail and Mail Online since 2004.

When Americans want to get into nature, they leave their garden, Monty says. For the British wanting the same, they go into their garden. And by the latest figures he’s heard, 84% of British people have a garden. Monty Don: There's a hole in our lives after death of beloved dog". Evening Standard. London. 13 May 2020 .
