AWDRY BAILEY & DOUGLAS SPONSORS TOP EVENT...

ABD is delighted to be key Sponsors of Devizes Festival again this year, and in particular an evening with TV gardening guru and celebrity "Monty Don " which took place on Saturday 8 June 2013 at the Corn Exchange, Devizes.

"The important thing about gardening is the little things. There's as much pleasure in a snowdrop as in a successful career.  If you can tap into that it feeds you hugely".         Monty Don

Montagu Denis Wyatt otherwise known as "Monty Don" is British television presenter, writer and speaker on horticulture.  Monty has been a regular presenter of BBC gardening programmes since he first appeared on the gardening segment of Good Morning in 1993.  He is best known for presenting popular BBC television series - Gardeners' World and has written widely on the subject of horticulture.  In fact you could say he is one of the UK's favourite gardeners...

The event was a sell-out!!
Approximately 400 people filled the Corn Exchange and listened to Monty chatting about his life, gardening and career. The slides of his garden and not forgetting Nigel his dog were amazing! After a question and answer session with the audience, book signing took place and ABD partners: Alistair Everett, Roger Chadwick and Andrew Douglas were fortunate enough to have their photograph taken with Monty!
