'Around the world in 80 gardens' by Monty Don

'If I have learned only one thing from my travels around the world it is that no garden is an island. Context is everything.'

Monty Don travels the world in search of the greatest gardening treasures, looking at the plants that have been chosen and how they integrate and harmonise with the landscape.

This tie-in title from the television series is lavishly illustrated with colour photographs and the text adds to the reader's knowledge of the eighty wonderful gardens included.
