I raked every inch three times, got to know the lay of this land intimately. All the time I was planning, dreaming and drawing. I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful.

By mid September the garden is gently beginning to become wraith-like and withdrawn. It is as though the garden is disappearing somewhere where I cannot follow. I have been becoming more and more obsessed with my garden over the last 5 years - this year it, quite literally - saved me. The book gives the reader a glimpse into this maelstrom, but it is just a glimpse as anyone that has been through similar will attest. He wrote this book with his wife, Sarah, and I must say I enjoyed her contributions as much as I did Monty’s . Here is a good example.The interplay between what he writes and then what she writes adds depth to the story of their garden. For they are a team effort. They began designing jewelry together, and their company became wildly successful, only to have the company fall upon its own bejewelled sword when the economy went bust. That part of their life is reflected in the section of their property they now call The Jewel Garden. The Complete Gardenershows gardeners how to create a self-sustainable, environmentally friendly garden for the 21st century.

Monty Don, presenter of Gardeners' World and the face of British gardening, and his wife Sarah tell the magical story of the garden they built at Longmeadow. The Jewel City Its Planning and Achievement Its Architecture, Sculpture, Symbolism, and Music Its Gardens, Palaces, and Exhibits Classic Reprint This is not a book about French Gardens. It is the story of a man travelling round France visiting a few selected French gardens on the way. Writing as someone who suffers from Depression and has suffered from S.A.D since before it had a name, this book has given me a reset and removed some angst in regard to how I view myself. It is more than a tale of a garden - wonderful and encouraging as The Jewel Garden is but also a story of a marriage in all its unsanitised honesty.

Now familiar to millions of Gardeners' World fans as Longmeadow (the home of Nigel & Nellie), this is the story of Monty & Sarah Don's early days there. The Jewel Garden is the story of the garden that bloomed from the muddy fields around the Dons' Tudor farmhouse, a perfect metaphor for the Monty and Sarah's own rise from the ashes of a spectacular commercial failure in the late '80s . I like the way that at this time of year the garden fills its spaces on its own. The poppies grow inches every day and marigolds seed everywhere. The garden becomes almost unbearably beautiful. Every second is precious. But time goes so fast and I can hardly breathe with the pace and excitement of it. I keep thinking, this is it. This is the moment.” This book is a collection of 50 of Monty’s articles, written as part of a regular column for The Observer. I ate it up! If you haven't ever heard of Monty Don, I would recommend watching an episode of Gardener's World prior to reading this book. You'll enjoy it a lot more. 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. Now, he travels across America with celebrated photographer Derry Moore to trace the fascinating histories of outdoor spaces which epitomize or redefine the American garden.

The Jewel Garden by Monty and Sarah Don - AbeBooks

The jewel city gardens, palaces, planning and achievement its architecture, sculpture, symbolism and music 1915 [Hardcover] Their life settles down and together they plan the garden(s) that viewers now see week in, week out. This is a brief précis of what is a marvellous book, that details their trials and successes in life and business, but also really interesting details of their planting, which to me as a gardener are sheer magic. Monty Don is perfectly content whenever he is working in his home garden. It is when he is away from it too long or the winter months make it impossible for him to putter as he likes among the flowers, the vegetables, and the trees that his crippling depression, always lurking like a beast in the shadows, seizes the opportunity to storm the cells deep in the dungeons of his mind and release the creatures of self-doubt, dissatisfaction, recrimination, and lassitude and allow them to run freely through his mind, overturning pots, tearing up rose bushes, and smashing down fences.

in spite of all the risks involved - a thing in motion will always be better than a thing at rest; that change will always be a nobler thing than permanence; that that which is static will degenerate and decay, turn to ash, while that which is in motion is able to last for all eternity.' - Olga Tokarczuk, Flights.
