Great read…

I’m currently reading Monty Don’s ‘The Ivington Diaries’ which is a collection of Monty’s diary extracts over a five year period.

What strives me, in particular, is Monty’s ability to take the vagaries of life, nature and gardening in his capable stride, shrugging off floods, storms and gardening ‘failures’ as ‘just one of those things’!

A delightful read, full of inspiring ideas, plant suggestions and lessons in life.

Buy it! You’ll not be disappointed.
