Description
We all inevitably romanticize the wild nature, yet all creatures — even those we consider useless — are part of the interconnected web of life. Every gardener knows well that a garden is not just about flower beds, digging, and harvesting well-deserved produce. A garden is also a bit of wilderness, where we can observe animals and plants, whether we are pleased or displeased by their presence as gardeners. In the book My Garden World, beloved British gardener Monty Don summarizes decades of daily observations. In short chapters, he guides readers through his garden in the English county of Herefordshire and introduces them to its visitors from the animal and plant kingdoms. Stories about the nuthatch, wild rose, shrew, hornet, snipe, bindweed, hawks, fox, foxglove, and even ticks — all complemented by the author's photographs — will take us through the entire calendar year. The book is not a gardening manual but rather a personal poetic narrative, reminding us that the natural world is all around us, no matter where we are.
