MONTY DON ‘GARDENING IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL'

The expert opens up about mental health and what he’s learned about Japan’s masterful approach to garden design

One constructive change to come from the recent pandemic lockdown has been a shift in priorities and a focus on the things we love. We’ve seen social media taken over by home cooks, pets have become our salvation and the state of our homes and gardens has never been more important. And that’s where Monty Don comes in!

The 64-year-old is the UK’s leading garden writer and broadcaster and has been making TV for more than 20 years, spanning across travel, craft, outdoor living and most importantly, gardening.

This week, fans of the garden guru are in for a treat as he jets off to Japan for Monty Don’s Japanese Gardens special.
