Delving into the diaries, letters, casual accounts, fiction, poetry and drama of the last six centuries, David Wheeler has produced a glorious collection of writing connected only by a love of that 'most potent of words - gardening.' From the underling gardener of an autocratic ladyship, to a hilarious 'egg-shaped' topiarist; from celebrated gardeners, including Vita Sackville-West, John Evelyn and Gertrude Jekyll, to enthusiastic amateurs who share their love of horticulture, The Penguin Book of Garden Writing takes us through the gardening year in an inspiring anthology that celebrates the joy of plants.
