On the eve the of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and the BBC’s coverage - I’m delighted to share with you a very special episode of Roots from @the_rhs 🌷
When @themontydon invites you to Longmeadow for a tour of his garden, it would be churlish to say no.. It was like being invited to step into Narnia and equally as magical to explore.
Over a cup of tea and biscuits Monty shares a very personal reflection on the power and value of gardening and nature in his own life. And of course, I got to hang out with naughty Ned..days really don’t get much better.
I’m also reflecting on this time last year when @themontydon and @plantsman_jamie gave us the @bbcradio2 Dog Garden at Chelsea. Such a thrill to have been involved with and what a special garden it turned out to be 🐶
Watch Roots in all its glorious beauty on @youtube and also enjoy the gardens of @judidenchofficial@richard.e.grant@damemaryberry Many more to come…😘
