Synopsis
''TRULY INSPIRING'' Mail on Sunday
Now familiar to millions of Gardeners'' World fans as Longmeadow (the home of Nigel & Nellie), this is the story of Monty & Sarah Don''s early days there. The Jewel Garden is the story of the garden that bloomed from the muddy fields around the Dons'' Tudor farmhouse, a perfect metaphor for the Monty and Sarah''s own rise from the ashes of a spectacular commercial failure in the late ''80s .
At the same time The Jewel Garden is the story of a creative partnership that has weathered the greatest storm, and a testament to the healing powers of the soil. Monty Don has always been candid about the garden''s role in helping him to pull back from the abyss of depression; The Jewel Garden elaborates on this much further. Written in an optimistic, autobiographical vein, Monty and Sarah''s story is truly an exploration of what it means to be a gardener.
