(H/B) A GARDEN FROM A HUNDRED PACKETS OF SEED

Παρουσίαση

'It seemed a simple and interesting idea: what plants would you choose if starting a garden from scratch, given that you were only allowed to propagate them from seed? [...]The emphasis is on childish simplicity of approach, and economy of outlay.' - James Fenton

In this light-hearted essay, James Fenton describes a hundred plants he would choose to grow from seed. Flowers for colour, size, or exotic interest; herbs and meadow flowers; climbing vines and tropical species... Here is a happy, stylish, thought-provoking exercise in good principles, which exudes that rare thing: common-or-garden sense about gardens. (From the publisher)
