This has a new twist
Revisado: 12-21-21
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.

When Monty Don's golden retriever, Nigel, became the surprise star of BBC's Gardeners' World, inspiring huge interest, fan mail and even his own social media accounts, Monty Don wanted to explore what makes us connect with animals quite so deeply. In many respects Nigel is a very ordinary dog - charming, handsome and obedient, as so many are. He is also a much loved family pet. He is also a star. By telling Nigel's story, Monty relates his relationships with other special dogs in his life in a memoir of his dogs past and very much present.

The James Herriot Of Green And Growing Things

In the tenor of James Herriot
Revisado: 03-16-20
Charming and evocative stories of his life with dogs. Truly charming. Monty has a wonderful speech pattern and tone which makes him so easy to listen to. The stories bring the characters to life in a way that I really haven't experienced since I read the Herriot stories so many decades ago. Like Tricky Woo, Monty's dogs come to life and a tear will run down your face at times. Loved it. Recommend it. Lovely book. Well written and well spoken.

Packed Full of Knowledge
Revisado: 03-16-20
I bought this after reading his book "Nigel". That book is a story book. Charming snippets of his life with animals which are truly reminiscent of the James Herriot style.
I thought this book was going to be similar and be stories of the garden. Not so. This is definitely a "how to" book.
At first I was disappointed. I wanted the "story" aspect present in "Nigel". That said, I quickly changed my mind and became hooked. Monty has a charming and evocative speech pattern which is absolutely charming to listen to. Couple that with his very casual and real approach to gardening, and you have a winner. Monty is a true proponent of the Organic Garden and Wildlife BUT puts no stress onto the gardener. The ultimate message is enjoy the try; it will all come right eventually.
I have listened to it now four times in a row. Really not hard to do. I am really trying to transfer all that wealth of knowledge into my poor brain. As I potter round my garden with my dogs tagging along, I am joined by this friendly voice hinting and guiding me through all the perils and joys of garden.
If you enjoy gardening, then this book holds a tomb of knowledge that is hard to find elsewhere. Remember that Monty lives in UK, so be prepared to adjust planting times appropriately for your zone.
