🌿🌼 Gardening Tips from Monty Don! 🌼🌿
Gardeners, have you ever wondered what’s the one tool you simply can’t go without? According to Gardeners’ World legend Monty Don, secateurs are a must-have in every gardener’s toolkit! He swears by a beautifully crafted, sharp Japanese pair, always by his side when he steps into the garden. These handy clippers are small enough to fit in your pocket but powerful enough to handle the job. Just remember, don’t overwork them—sometimes you need a couple of pairs to suit different tasks!
But secateurs aren’t the only essentials Monty treasures. He’s been using his bespoke spade for over three decades, saying, “A good spade will last, I plant everything with it!” He also has a trusty fork, expertly crafted like his spade, though Monty notes that while stainless steel is nice, it isn’t crucial. And let’s not forget about the trusty trowel with a flat blade, which Monty uses “all the time.”
Shears have also made a stylish comeback, described by Monty as a “delight.” So if you’re looking to up your gardening game, why not take a leaf out of Monty’s book and invest in these trusty tools?
Catch Monty on Gardeners’ World tonight at 8pm, where he’ll be bringing the Mediterranean to your garden with potted lemons and sharing more of his gardening wisdom. 🌳🍋
