A year ago his garden, Longmeadow, became the location for the filming of Gardeners’ World and this book takes the reader through a typical gardening year there. He has written a weekly gardening column for the Daily Mail since 2004, and published over 20 books, including the bestsellers Down to Earth, Nigel: My Family and Other Dogs, and My Garden World. Planting both acknowledges the koranic dictates of fruit with pomegranate, olive and citrus trees but also very British crab apples.

A firm favourite with viewers, Monty's infectious enthusiasm for plants, attention to the finer details of gardening technique and easy charm have seen the ratings soar. What began as an act of homage, almost an academic exercise, has become an important and much loved part of the garden.Gardening at Longmeadow by Monty Don takes readers and gardeners through a year at the famous garden. this is when the falling light levels coupled with heat make the rich colours like plum, caramel, purple and ruby red glow richly. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. Here Monty invites us into the garden at Longmeadow, to show us how he created this beautiful garden, and how we can do the same in our own. He has written a number of books about his gardens and gardens around the world, and also one about his Golden Retriever Nigel, who passed away in 2020 at the age of 11.
