Speaking to his followers, Monty said: “This arrived today. It’s my new gardening book that I’ve spent the last year working on called The Gardening Book and it’s out in a month but it’s available to pre-order right now .”
He went on to say: “It’s aimed at all those people who aren’t gardeners and don’t know much about gardening, but would love to have some kind of garden as part of their life, whether it’s on their windowsill, in a small patch in the middle of town or even a large sprawling plot of land in the country .

Monty and his wife Sarah have lived in the same property for more than 30 years, and the presenter has devoted a lot of time to transforming their outdoor space over the years.
When the family first moved into their home, the garden consisted of two acres of abandoned field with only one tree. After much hard work, Monty redeveloped the grounds and created four separate spaces within the garden, each with their own names: The Cottage Garden, The Jewel Garden, The Paradise Garden and The Vegetable Garden.

Speaking of the transformation on his website, Monty wrote: “Planting began in earnest in the spring of ’93 and has never stopped since. The changes have been dramatic and may seem astonishing to some.
“But in my mind that early field with its pattern of wicker fences protecting the little plants, so small and full of dreams, still remains under the skin, is still there under all the years.”

Much to the delight of fans, Monty is regularly joined on TV by his beloved canine clan: dogs Nell, Patti and Ned. Their latest furry addition to the family comes two years after the author’s dog Nigel sadly passed away after falling ill suddenly.
