About this product

Product Information

THE JEWEL GARDEN is the story of the garden that over the past decade has bloomed from the muddy fields around the Dons' Tudor farmhouse, a perfect metaphor for the Monty and Sarah's own rise from the ashes of a spectacular commercial failure. At the same time THE JEWEL GARDEN is the story of a creative partnership that has weathered the greatest storm, and a testament to the healing powers of the soil. In his weekly column for the Observer, Monty Don has always been candid about the garden s role in helping him to pull back from the abyss of depression; THE JEWEL GARDEN elaborates on this much further. Written in an optimistic, autobiographical vein, Monty and Sarah s story is truly an exploration of what it means to be a gardener.

  • A really enjoyable read

    For those interested in gardens/gardening and in particular Monty Don - this was a fascinating read and I had only recently heard about his 'jewelled' past so searched for a copy of the book. It was beautifully written and very descriptive piece of writing. Probably not of too much interest to those not passionately interested in minute details of creating a garden. I am going to read it again and pass it on.
