Monty Don on organic gardening
Monty Don reveals why growing organically is the natural choice – for now and the sake of future generations
Has your relationship with your garden changed in the past year? It’s likely you’ve spent more time in it, switching off from the daily pressures of modern life to watch wildlife close up and raise your own healthy, fresh food. If so, you’re not alone – and this first-hand connection with nature is influencing how we garden today, persuading many gardeners to look for a more natural approach to how they grow.
Monty Don, lead presenter of Gardeners’ World, has been a committed organic gardener for over 30 years. In this podcast, he shares with us why he thinks organic growing is much easier than you might think – and is the approach to gardening that’s kindest to our health, to the wider environment and to future generations.
