Creative Gardeners

This is an inspirational book for gardeners about gardens. Twenty private gardens – mostly designed and brought into existence by their owners – have been chosen for their diversity, creativity and skill in cultivation. They range from a former marsh to moors and open upland; from frost pockets to areas of excessive rainfall. Some have had the advantage of previous cultivation, others have been wrung from raw fields, or hewn out of valley slopes. All of the conditions described will be found somewhere else in the British Isles, and most of the problems faced are universal. Whether you garden in a town or suburb, have extensive grounds or a cottage garden, you are sure to find something of interest among this selection.
