The best value vegetable growing guide - made even better. My previous copy of this book dates from 1997,and whilst it was still perhaps the best guide to growing veg and herbs, it was starting to show it's age,due to advances in growing techniques, varietal choice etc- like everything else, gardening isn't immune to change! Therefore this new additional is very welcome indeed. It provides what it says on the cover,in spadefuls. I recommend this book to novice growers unreservedly- it really is the BEST veg guide out there,and is an absolute steal for the money. More experienced growers will still find plenty of information on newer varieties to consider growing. I've had an allotment now for 18 years,and have built up a fair library of gardening books.This is by far the best!

INDIVIDUAL GARDENS
A very human person By concentrating on the life, rather than the "work" of Gertrude Jekyll, she becomes a whole, rounded and very human person, not all that different from women of the next generation that I have known myself. This approach also includes more about the working parts of her own garden along with its development, rather than concentrating only on its ornamental and artistic aspects. It also provides wonderful insights into the client-architect relationship behind the house at Munstead Wood, and into the development of Lutyens as an architect.

..The Creation of a Garden...I have just completed my review of Sarah Ravens latest book and I wanted to tell her that I think this is the best work ever done on Sissinghurst, by far. The black and white photographs are sublime, simply breath-taking, even leaving one emotional. To have access to such material and family knowledge makes me extremely envious. Sarah's love of the place is obvious to see. One of my most popular talks is on Sissinghurst and I foolishly thought I knew all there was to know about Vita and the garden, how wrong I was. I only had the review pdf to work from but I still could not put it down. The book really is wonderful, thank you Sarah for writing about it, I will recommend it to everyone at my talks.

Spare beauty found in a book....Derek Jarman, the filmmaker and sometime Artist, was a prolific creator of things rich and strange: a prime example of which is his garden. This was, arguably, his most important work. A thing that acted as a moving testament to both his æsthetic and human beliefs - a spare beauty is found in his garden, nestled in the single of Dungeness.
This book manages to capture the essential and luminous aspects of this garden through the poetry and prose of Jarman himself, and Howard Sooley's ravishing photographs. This is a definite "must" for anyone wishing to know more about Derek Jarman... A Customer 2001 |
