Overview
My Garden World is Monty Don's Sunday Times bestselling celebration of the wildlife found in our own back gardens. Written month by month across a single natural year, this beautifully observed paperback invites readers to slow down and rediscover the birds, insects, mammals and plants living right outside the back door. Warm, wise and deeply personal, it is nature writing at its most accessible and rewarding.
About the Book
In My Garden World, television presenter and writer Monty Don turns his attention away from the borders and vegetable beds he is best known for, and looks instead at the wildlife that shares his Herefordshire garden with him. Structured as a journey through the calendar year, the book moves season by season, pausing along the way to observe hares, hawthorn, garden birds, insects and much more besides. Don argues that wildlife is not something confined to remote, exotic corners of the world we only see on television screens, but is present right here in our own back yards — and that the more we encourage it and learn to live alongside it, the more rewarding our own lives become. Drawing on notebooks and journals he has kept since childhood, as well as observations from the previous year, Don reflects on more than sixty years of fascination with the natural world. The result is a gentle, soulful read full of small "a-ha" moments, praised by critics as a celebration of every living creature we share our gardens with. It is a book for anyone — town or country dweller alike — who wants to look more closely at the natural world on their doorstep, and to help preserve it in whatever small way they can.
