British Gardens - Monty Don - Bog

Bag om British Gardens

What do our gardens say about us?Monty Don has spent many years travelling the world, from America to Japan, from Italy and the Adriatic to Spain and the Mediterranean, getting under the skin of a country through its gardens and gardening traditions. In British Gardens, he finally brings his focus to home, journeying from the northern tip of Scotland to the Cornish coast, seeking to understand what our gardens tell us about ourselves as a nation. Encompassing historical gardens and public parks, mountains and seascapes, urban gardens and rural nurseries, glasshouses and community plots, each encounter is another link in a larger story of British identity: marks of ingenuity, eccentricity, and adaptation to changing environments. From Northumbria's Alnwick Gardens and Beatrix Potter's Lake District farmhouse to the rewilded walled garden on the Knepp Estate and the story of Britain's first garden gnome, Monty's account brings in an astonishing range of British experience. Accompanied by a landmark five-part series on BBC2, and illustrated by stunning photography from Monty's long-time collaborator Derry Moore, British Gardens is a definitive, and uniquely British, account of a nation like no other.
