Written by Britain's most highly respected planstman, this book is packed with the sort of information keen gardeners crave, from planting, staking and the pleasures of propagation, to wild gardening in grass, and fruit and vegetable specialties.
In the course of this long book, Christopher Lloyd discusses many hundreds of garden plants - their beauties, their various uses, their cultivation and propagation, their shortcomings. The author endears himself at once to the reader because he confesses his failures and his mistakes. He writes with gusto, giving his opinions, his likes and dislikes firmly and, quite rightly, not worrying whether we agree or disagree with him.
