What does Sarah Don do for a living?

• Sarah Don began a costume-jewelry business after she met her husband, Monty. 
• She shared “We employed 20 people in-house and used hundreds of our workers. We had a shop in Beauchamp Place, SW1 and we sold in 30 countries, with 60 outlets in America.”
• Later, Vogue gave them its seal of approval, and Harrods, Harvey Nichols, and Liberty all stocked their creations. “Costume jewelry has its value entirely from its design and appearance, not from the cost of its materials. Our jewelry is still in the V&A.”
• Although she tried to keep a low profile, Sarah was a skilled jeweler and contributed 75% of the creative ideas. Her husband made up the other 25%, was a super-salesman, and was very passionate.
• Her husband, Monty added, “When we were flying, we were really flying. At our best, we were the best in the world at what we did. But we were never quite as successful as our publicity convinced other people – and ourselves – that we were. We were hopelessly under-capitalized and borrowing constantly.”
• Since the USA was their main market and its stores canceled the orders for which the Dons had previously hired their own suppliers – and taken out loans – they were completely destroyed by the 1987 Wall Street meltdown. “Our collapse was spectacular. We were all along pretending to be businessmen and now our cover had been blown.”
• Later, they managed to settle their debts only by selling their house.
• Although the company was a team endeavor, Sarah revealed in their book The Jewel Garden that she frequently felt ignored by clients in comparison to super salesman Monty. “I would spend months working on a creation, drawing, refining, going backward and forwards to the factory, checking samples, sorting out publicly,” she wrote. “It was always a collaboration, though the factory owner who made up our jewelry only seems to listen to Montagu (Monty’s name).” She added: “I was invisible.”
• At present, she helps out her husband with gardening.
• Moreover, she even worked for companies like Flux Media Limited as a designer writer, and Secretary at The Monty Project Limited. 
• Likewise, she has co-authored a few books with her husband. 

How long has Sarah Don been married?

Sarah Don is a married woman to her husband, Monty Don who is a British horticulturist, broadcaster, and writer who is best known as the lead presenter of the BBC gardening television series Gardeners’ World. They married after meeting each other at Cambridge University. Speaking with Reader’s Digest, Monty shared, “Soon after we met she needed some help with her tiny back garden, so I said I’d cut the grass for her—the lawn wasn’t big enough to merit the purchase of a lawn mower. She left me to it but the only thing I could find to do the job was a pair of scissors. I got down on my hands and knees and had just about finished when she returned. I’ll never forget the look on her face—a look I’ve grown to know well over the last 37 years. It was a mixture of utter disbelief mixed with, dare I say, approval.” They have two sons, Adam and Tom, and daughter Freya. They are also the proud grandparents to George and Daisy Rose. 

Monty shared a sweet throwback snap of him and Sarah on their wedding day on 28 July 2022. Monty captioned the post: “We got married 39 years ago today – the picture is a little faded, a little wrinkly, like us but the love is as evergreen and strong now as it was all those years ago.” He previously described how he used a pair of kitchen scissors to trim Sarah’s whole lawn as a means of seducing her. Monty claimed he was unable to locate the shed’s keys at the time of the romantic gesture and had to improvise. He was willing to spend hours manually mowing the grass in order to impress his future wife. Monty revealed at the time that Sarah believed he was a “romantic fool.” Monty added, “I met up with my wife and I wooed her by cutting her lawn, with her kitchen scissors, because I couldn’t find the key to the shed that had the lawnmower. She thought then as she does now, I was a fool. But a romantic fool. We were only 25 but we bought a house with the biggest garden we could afford,” he said at the Edinburgh Literary Festival in 2013. 

In Monty Don’s book The Jewel Garden, he revealed that his wife was “the one”. When they met each other, Sarah was married at the time and it took a divorce “to sort things out”. Monty added, “It took a little time and a divorce to sort things out, but I was right.”

Now, it has been 39 years since they had been married. She opened up about how she left her first husband for the Gardeners World presenter. She met Monty who was an undergraduate and her ex-hubby was a postgrad at the same college. “In 1979, I left my well-off husband for this penniless student,” she admitted. “Trying to escape the inevitable mess that we had created, Montagu and I ran away together to the North York Moors, where we were offered rooms in a house for winter.” Sarah, who refuses to call her now husband by his shorted name, remembered that they settled the rent by riding the owner’s horse every day and painted all the windows as payment. Despite the idyllic love story, she admitted that once they fled, they ran into financial difficulties. “We now look back on that time as a rich experience,” she said. “But there was a real hardship.”
