About the book

British Gardens by Monty Don is a history book for adult readers.

Inspired by the popular BBC series, Monty Don provides a fascinating, lavishly illustrated, and totally unique portrait of Britain, then and now, through its gardens. What do our gardens say about us? Monty Don has spent many years travelling the world, from America to Japan, from Italy and the Adriatic to Spain and the Mediterranean, getting under the skin of a country through its gardens and gardening traditions.

In British Gardens, he finally brings his focus to home, journeying from the northern tip of Scotland to the Cornish coast, seeking to understand what our gardens tell us about ourselves as a nation. Encompassing historical gardens and public parks, mountains and seascapes, urban gardens and rural nurseries, glasshouses and community plots, each encounter is another link in a larger story of British identity: marks of ingenuity, eccentricity, and adaptation to changing environments.
