Description

The television series British Gardens will have launched a few weeks earlier and the book will be published in autumn 2025, so this is a unique opportunity to hear Monty talking about his latest project with Sophie Raworth, newsreader, journalist and broadcaster who for many years was one of the other stars of the BBC’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show television coverage.

After a run of television series and books which saw him globe-trotting from Japan to the USA and from Venice to Spain, in his new project Monty comes home to Britain to explore a selection of the country’s most iconic gardens.

The gardens he includes stretch to all corners of the United Kingdom’s four nations. They are a wonderfully eclectic mix, ranging from historic icons of different periods to small, little-known personal gems. From Chatsworth to Battersea Power Station, from Little Sparta to St Just Church, and from gnomes to Chelsea Flower Show, they encapsulate the rich diversity of British gardens.

To watch the event from the comfort of your own home via an online link book your tickets on this page.
