The Organic Gardener

In this inspiring, ground - breaking book, Monty Don, one of the UK 's leading gardeners, breathes new life into every aspect of gardening. Drawing directly on the experience gained from his own organic garden, Monty champions the sustainable approach and explains how to grow healthy plants and harvest delicious garden produce while respecting the needs of the environment. Good garden design is also emphasised with expert advice on structure and shape, as well as how to use colour and texture in the flower garden. The book is illustrated with extraordinarily beautiful photographs that take the reader through a full year in Monty's garden. Step - by - step practical sequences and stimulating text combine in this very personal account of his gardening successes and failures.
