Spring has sprung and our gardens are calling. If you need inspiration, look no further.

In ‘British Gardens’, Monty Don journeys from the northern tip of Scotland to the Cornish coast, seeking to understand what our gardens tell us about ourselves.

Encompassing historical gardens and public parks, mountains and seascapes, urban gardens and rural nurseries, glasshouses and community plots, each encounter is part of the story of British identity: marks of ingenuity, eccentricity, and adaptation to changing environments.

From Northumbria’s Alnwick Gardens and Beatrix Potter’s Lake District farmhouse to the rewilded walled garden on the Knepp Estate and the story of Britain’s first garden gnome, Monty’s account brings in an astonishing range of British experience.

Accompanied by a landmark five-part series on BBC2 and illustrated by stunning photography from Monty’s long-time collaborator Derry Moore, British Gardens is a definitive, and uniquely British, account of a nation like no other.

More than a memoir – this is a lifetime of gardening inspiration.
