Book recommendation
At present I'm dipping in and out of 'Cuttings', a selection of Christopher
Lloyd's articles from the Guardian. It's extremely enjoyable, not least for his opinionated remarks about certain types of plants and gardening practices but also for the enormous wealth of information it offers. I think it must appeal to a very wide range of gardeners. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

As a Guardian reader for over 25 years, I've read them all and I couldn't wait for them to arrive. I'm forever dipping in his 'Garden Flowers: Perennials, Bulbs, Grasses, Ferns'. I have to admit that I haven't found a more thorough book than this one. His anecdotes and criticisms are delicious. I'd like to recommend The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. A gripping tale of the world suffering an infestation of Homo sapiens... I just cannot put it down. He travels around the world with very interesting facts about our soil, our plants and our way of growing food and flowers, combine with political and historical climate - it's a gem. |
