Book summary

In 2005, Monty Don set up a smallholding where a group of young offenders – mainly drug addicts – would work on the land. If the project was a success, Monty planned a national network off arms with the objective of helping people in adversity through working the soil. Written with the skill and honesty that characterises all his work, Growing Out of Trouble is a powerful account of the day-to-day trials and tribulations of young people with terrible problems. The book documents an extraordinary journey during which Monty Don had to confront issues he had never encountered, whilst exercising all his traditional skills as a plantsman. Monty Don has presented gardening programmes for the past fifteen years and now presents BBC2’s Gardeners World. He is a prolific journalist, and was the Observer’s gardening editor from 1994 until 2006. Growing out of Trouble was a major series on BBC Television.
