Product Description
Product Description
Gardening from Berryfields is invaluable to all gardeners and, in particular, to the viewers of BBC2s 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 distills all the information that is packed into each episode of Gardeners World and draws on the immense horticultural experience of Monty Don, the shows 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.

However, Monty has written the book as chapters featuring the main "mini gardens" from the programme plus the veg plot and the greenhouse. Only the 'pond' chapter is specific to the location. The other chapters all contain planting lists, notes on plant care and propagation and seasonal advice which are useful. Of course, being written by Monty you know weed control won't be copious use of Round Up! TBH I think Monty is a better writer than presenter, and there is nothing here to alarm the beginner with Latin names
Of course, there is going to be something 'lost' in that you can't both read about and watch the garden's development. That said, if you are wanting a decent guide to creating borders, dry garden, spring garden, veg plot etc. then the book still has value.
