*The i newspaper*
Practical month-by-month advice on gardening from a popular
gardener with years of hands-on experience.
*Gardens Illustrated*
A beauty of a book... The chapters are short and clearly marked for
quick references when needed and there's an ever so handy monthly
guide at the back. It's full with beautiful photographs too which I
think are nearly as important as the words.
*Lavender and Leeks blog*
This book, with its beautifully framed images from the author's own
garden, is lyrical with wit and wisdom as it takes the reader
through the year, offering practical and sometimes unexpected
advice.
*RTE Guide*
What we loved most is that it is like a conversation with Monty as
he takes you through his thoughts on many aspects of gardening...
highly recommended!
*Hot Brands Cool Places*
Down to Earth is a pleasure to dip into and would make a satisfying
read on days when work in the garden has been curtailed by fading
light or cold.
*English Garden*
Down to Earth... is a lovely read, and although it contains all you
could wish to know about the eternal verities of mulching, pruning,
composting, growing and planting in every type of garden, its
central message is that gardening is the secret to living well.
