MY GARDEN WORLD par Monty Don
Sometimes workmanlike, sometimes moving, always entertaining and informative journal of the goings on for a full year in Monty Don’s home gardens. Read to get a feel for the little joys and tribulations of a well functioning garden.
The thing that blows my mind about this book is that Monty Don introduces himself as a passionate amateur gardener -- I'm not sure I agree with that, but it may explain why I enjoy his advice so much. It always feels accessible, interesting, useful and insightful. That he is the reader for the audiobook is just one more plus in my book. Enjoyed it immensely, plan to look back on it/listen again in future.
I discovered Monty Don about a month ago during a virtual event from the Hay Festival called, "A Night in with the Wordsworths." It was a series of poetry readings. Some of the readers were celebrities I was familiar with. But this guy? I had never heard of him, but I was stunned by his reading voice. It was gentle, it was deliberate, it was authentic.
Here you go.
Go ahead, listen. I'll wait.
:)
Anyway, to the Google I went, and found out that he's one of the UK's leading garden writers and presenters.
Now, this discovery just happened to coincide with my own newly embarked upon hobby of gardening. I'm doing way more with it this year than ever before, and enjoying it.
So downloading Monty Don's audiobook (which he reads himself!) and plugging in my headphones during my daily times of weeding and watering seemed like the perfect thing to do.
And it was.
Monty Don reads his own words with a conversational flair and a well articulated passion for the subject. He's my gardening guru now the same way Rick Steves is my travel guru. The book is a mixture of practical advice as well as slightly philosophical musings about how a garden feels at different times of year and how to approach your role in it.
But I also think even if you're not intensely interested in gardening, you would find this relaxing as an audiobook.… (plus d'informations)

Read because I'm a fan of Monty's TV gardening shows. I enjoyed reading about how their garden was created and how & why they've shifted it over the years.
