Review
`Finely written and hugely loveable ... it deserves to become a gardening classic ... The book itself is deeply covetable, with its heavy, creamy paper and its splendid efflorescence of colour images' --Sunday Times
`The month-by-month record of his work in the tow-acre Herefordshire garden that he and his wife, Sarah, created from 1992 is a story of pleaching, pruning and striving. Hundreds of photos - taken by 54 - year old Monty on teacup-in-hand, early morning walks - show prize blooms, straight lines, immaculate topiary ... his thoughtful and elegantly expressed love letter to the garden his is rethinking, almost unmaking.' --Cassandra Jardine, Daily Telegraph
'Finely written and hugely loveable garden journal... It is thoughtful, kindly, moving... It is obvious from the moment you taste his sensual and intelligent prose ... for Monty (after reading this intimate book, it seems absurd to call him Don) gardening is not about growing flowers, still less selling them. It is about the love of soil and of place - and one place in particular: his garden at Ivington in Herefordshire ... a creative edit of 10 years' worth of Monty's garden diaries.'
--James McConnachie, Sunday Times

Product Description
Monty Don and his wife Sarah moved into their semi-derelict farmhouse at Ivington in 1992, and their garden is the most tangible symbol of the spectacular way in which they have since thrived. Springing with amazing vigour from the soil behind the house, this space has been central to Monty's life; ever since he dug the very first border, he has obsessively written about it. The Ivington Diaries is a personal collection of Monty's jottings from the past fifteen years. Generously illustrated with his very own photographs, and beautifully packaged, this book promises to be one of the most delightful garden books ever published.
