Monty Don: A Journey Through British Gardens
27 March @ 7.30pm
About Monty Don: A Journey Through British Gardens
What do our gardens say about us? Britain’s best-loved gardener, Monty Don, returns with a brand-new show celebrating his landmark book and BBC2 series, British Gardens.
Using beautiful imagery and stories, Monty explores the landscapes, traditions, and tales that reveal who we are through the gardens we create. After years of travelling the world — from Japan and America to Italy, the Adriatic, Spain, and the Mediterranean — he now turns his focus homeward.
From Scotland’s northern tip to the Cornish coast, Monty uncovers what our gardens reveal about us as a nation: our ingenuity, eccentricity, and enduring connection to the natural world.
He’ll take audiences from Alnwick Gardens and Beatrix Potter’s Lake District farmhouse to the rewilded walled garden at Knepp, celebrating the beauty, creativity, and diversity of Britain’s landscapes.
Warm, wise, and deeply rooted in the soil of Britain, Monty invites you to reflect on the gardens that have shaped our story — and discover the ways we continue to find ourselves in the earth beneath our feet.
