A nice chat…

Monty never fails to entertain and illuminate. I listened as I gardened and it felt as if we were having a friendly chat. Yes, the conversation was one-sided…just as I imagine it would be should I be lucky enough to meet him in person.

wonderfully immersive narration

I loved listening to this book in the author’s familiar
voice. He certainly has a way with words. This Would be a wonderful book to listen to in the dreary days of winter as you await the gardening season. He took a couple of jabs at Americans that stung a little but overall a wonderful book.

Monty Don is wonderful.

This book in his voice, is heavenly. Makes you want to garden all day everyday. I will order a hardback copy of the book for all the amazing info. But I will listen again and again.

Excellent gardening book.

If you are a passionate gardener - this is an essential book. Appropriate for both the new gardener and the life long addict.

What a dream.

Listening to Monty Don sharing his gardening wisdom is like the visual passing of the seasons for your ears. I only wish more of his books were on audio!
