Why read it?
1 author picked The Complete Gardener as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
My garden will never look like Longmeadow, Monty Don’s quintessential English garden with bucolic vistas, garden rooms enclosed by tall hedges, and a tidy vegetable garden complete with a glass greenhouse.
