Urban Jungle: The Simple Way to Tame Your Town Garden

by Monty Don

Urban Jungle is a book for people who have a garden but do not consider themselves to be gardeners. Tackling the subject in clear language, it is written for the kind of busy person who has a range of interests, is sophisticated about style, knowledgeable about many subjects--but just happens to be an ignoramus when it comes to growing plants. Expert Monty Don reassures the reader, proving that no special skills or abilities are needed to garden well--other than a love of beauty and a desire to make the garden a part of your home. The book is filled with practical tips and advice, and yet is iconoclastic, opinionated, and free of horticultural jargon. A totally different kind of gardening guide, Urban Jungle amply demonstrates that gardening can be both easy and fun. A must for every new gardener. Monty Don is a gardening journalist and the author of the award-winning book, The Sensuous Garden .
