+ sophie munns : visual eclectica + : Monty Don: Around the World in 80 Gardens

Launched May 1st, 2009 with a tentative start... this blog evolved into a space to bring things I'm curious about or fascinated with whilst adapting to life in a new city, a new direction with my work and in the online realm. Early on postings were frequent and wide-ranging in focus. Attention slowly spread to new online engagements as ideas developed and formats trialled to extend those ideas. However, this blog has always remained at the centre of all that followed ...the conversations, journeys and glimpses into creative worlds generated here have long enriched my days beyond all imagining and I return always to pick up the thread with gratitude for the experience and for those who've passed through, perhaps joined up or stopped to converse!

Monty Don: Around the World in 80 Gardens

I have just read the fascinating story of the man who brought us the remarkable "Around the World in 80 Gardens" series we here in australia have finally been able to view on TV. The Sunday, March 8th article The interview: Monty Don in The Observer by Kate Kellaway and Hermione Hoby is a great read for those interested in the vision of this man and his personal story. www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/mar/08/monty-don-gardens-bbc or google Monty Don and find this article under the guardian.co.uk.

Alternatively Google will take you to a YOU TUBE entry for Monty Don.... have look at "Urban food growing in Cuba" which is an excerpt from the garden TV series.
