Publisher's Synopsis
Montagu Don left London and urban life to take over a large garden in Herefordshire that had become entirely decrepit over the last fifteen years. Driven by a passionate love for the English countryside and an overwhelming need to force himself to the limits of his physical and mental endurance, he planned, over the following twelve frantic months, to turn it into a garden of exceptional beauty. This is an evocative record of a dreamer's obsession, his success and failure, his creative, physical and financial battles to make a dream.
