Story5 out of 5 stars 23
When Monty Don's golden retriever, Nigel, became the surprise star of BBC's Gardeners' World, inspiring huge interest, fan mail and even his own social media accounts, Monty Don wanted to explore what makes us connect with animals quite so deeply. In many respects Nigel is a very ordinary dog - charming, handsome and obedient, as so many are. He is also a much loved family pet. He is also a star. By telling Nigel's story, Monty relates his relationships with other special dogs in his life in a memoir of his dogs past and very much present.

Charles Dowding’s No Dig Gardening: Course 1

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
Compared to Charles' other books, this is more about no dig, eliminating weeds, garden layout, compost making, and using compost. There is also a history of no-dig vegetable gardening in the last 100 years. I want listeners to understand the context and the reasons why no dig has not been much valued until recently, and why it is now. This audiobook has 18 sections, covering the key methods and wonderful results of no dig, from starting with weeds to sowing and planting straightaway, and cropping soon after.

While everyone loves eating fresh garden produce, not everyone has the time and energy to create a productive garden. But what if growing delicious crops required hardly any effort? What if you could have succulent strawberries, perfect peas, and terrific tomatoes without needing to touch a spade, hoe, or plow - without needing to worry about irrigating, spraying, sowing a cover crop, weeding, cultivating, or building a compost pile? If that sounds good, the Stout System is the answer for you!

Garden with Monty
I can’t imagine a better way to start the gardening season than to get my hands dirty while listening to Monty Don.
While the book is most definitely written for the British garden, I gleaned many tips and tricks that I will put to work in my horticultural adventures.

A Delightful Stroll through Longmeadow
Monty offers a wealth of information to new gardeners, and an engaging review for pros. His narration is relaxing and conversational, and does not lecture. The true delight of "Down to Earth" is how it evokes the feeling of a long walk through Longmeadow with Monty.

Wonderful, whimsical and wise.
What a most pleasing listen during rather unpleasant times. Listening to Monty himself describe vibrant scenes within his own garden is both educational and soothing. I very much recommend purchasing, whether you are an experienced gardener, a novice, or someone simply looking to escape to a lush garden for some time through Monty's delightful and passionate imagery.

A good listen.
Really enjoyed Monty Don narrating. Explaining how to garden, what to do with certain types of plants. It helps since I'm wanting to learn more about gardening. Its nice to hear his personal touch on how he does it.
