    Hi all,

    Does Monty actually live at his home and garden at Longmeadow ? Ive been reading recently that he spends more time on his farm on the Welsh borders.

    Doesnt really matter, just interested.

    regards

    I should think that Longmeadows is just a T.V. garden with a squadron of organisers and helpers getting everything ready each week waiting for the pundit to decend, do his bit and then depart. But I shall be pleased to be proved incorrect. :runforhills:
    Cheers, Tony.

    I think its just more than a Tv garden. I think you need to watch Beechgrove for that.

      An article in the Telegraph says that he lives there and created the garden in 1993 and that for the last 4 years (pre-Gardeners World - who knows since) he and his wife have maintained it without outside help.
