The Jewel Garden

By
Monty Don
John Murray Press
'TRULY INSPIRING' Mail on Sunday

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 .

At the same time The Jewel Garden is the story of a creative


partnership that has weathered the greatest storm, and a testament to
the healing powers of the soil. Monty Don has always been candid
about the garden's role in helping him to pull back from the abyss of
depression; The Jewel Garden elaborates on this much further.
Written in an optimistic, autobiographical vein, Monty and Sarah's
story is truly an exploration of what it means to be a gardener.
