Gardening at Longmeadow

Product Information

For years, Britain's much-loved gardener Monty Don has been leading us down all kinds of garden paths to show us why green spaces are vital to our wellbeing and culture. The gentle planting in the cottage garden, which contains flowers, fruit trees, herbs and shrubs, and will soon be blooming with summer roses.

The Cottage garden spent the first 20 years of its existence as a dedicated vegetable garden, conveniently near the kitchen and supplying the family with all our fresh produce.Only comparable to the other Monty Don's book 'The complete gardener', which is a good addition to this. This means that we eat seasonally as well as use the greenhouse and cloches to protect plants and also plan our succession very carefully so that as one crop comes to an end there are young plants already growing strongly to replace them, either of the same variety or an alternative type according to the season. Following the cycle of the seasons, this book introduces readers to the garden from the earliest snowdrops of January through the first splashes of colour in the spring, the electric summer displays of the jewel garden, the autumn harvest in the orchard, and on to a Christmas feast sourced from the vegetable gardens.

So it is a must for new and aspiring gardeners to take heed before just “diving in”, to have a bit of savvy before you just make the journey into growing your own produce, plants and so on. Monty Don invites you into Longmeadow, a place that has become synonymous with Gardener’s World, to show how he creates and tends his own garden, and how you can bring some of that same magic to our own.Monty, currently President of the Soil Association, the main body for organic regulation in Britain, has always been a passionate advocate of organic gardening and working with nature. The young hedging plants were then planted in the lee of the fences and grew much faster as a result.

But over the past ten years it has slowly evolved into a traditional, but essentially floral, cottage garden, filled with blowsy, soft colours but also containing fruit trees, rhubarb, gooseberries and some herbs all mingled in together. I liked the added touches of a page where he talks about foraging and how the book finishes with Christmas and what are the best presents for gardeners. A simple pavilion is at the far end that is shaded from the sun but looks out over the whole garden and down through the Orchard beds. The result was a two part series ‘Paradise Gardens for the BBC and a book, with Derry Moore, with the same title.Join our community to get personalised book suggestions, extracts straight to your inbox, 10% off RRPs, and to change children’s lives.
