Product Description

"Gardening from Berryfields" is invaluable to all gardeners and, in particular, to the viewers of BBC2's "Gardeners' World". Using the main projects undertaken at Berryfields (the "Gardeners' World" garden), the book guides the reader through a year of gardening, giving practical advice so that they can use Berryfields as a template for managing their own. Now available in paperback, the book cleverly distils all the information that is packed into each episode of "Gardeners' World" and draws on the immense horticultural experience of Monty Don, the show's main presenter. The book is divided into 13 chapters covering subjects, such as the kitchen garden, courtyard garden, dry garden, herb garden, mixed borders, pond, orchard, and wildflower meadow. Monty is a gardening columnist with the "Observer", has presented several gardening programmes and written numerous books on the subject.

Customer Reviews

Monty - always worth the money!
As a fan of Monty Don's writing and gardening I bought this, expecting that his style had probably been watered down (no pun intended!) for Gardeners World viewers. But not a bit of it. Monty happily gives us the low down on junk fruit and other evils of the twenty-first century. Entertaining and informative it is based around the Berryfield plot, so the chapters include the £20 border, the greenhouse, the kitchen garden, the pond, the lawn, the fruit garden and so on. Well worth the money.
