Life is short and absurd and run through with pain and sorrow. But, even in the face of suffering gardening can make our days shine with joy.

For decades, Monty Don's work, in television and in print, has been shaping the way Britain thinks about gardening. This new book of essays, based on his popular columns from Gardeners' World magazine, moves through the seasons, touching on trees and vegetables, art and history, patience and triumph.

Written in Monty's inimitable style, it is packed with humour, insight, and brilliant practical advice. A book to be dipped into or read straight through, these are some of Monty's most intimate, thoughtful and companionable writings - a compendium of all the wisdom Monty has gained through the years, as a gardener and a writer.
