About this item

The very best of Alan Titchmarsh's gardening writing, taken from his 20 years as a columnist with Gardeners' World magazine Covering everything from his love of water features in gardens to the beauty of wildflower meadows to why we need to get children away from gizmos and back into gardens, this is the perfect bedside or gardenside anthology from a beloved gardener. His brilliant writings are, in turn, practical (Just how far back should we prune our roses?), opinionated (I always rail at people who go out on a Sunday afternoon to tidy their gardens. I mean, a garden is not a sock drawer.), cheeky (I have a theory that gardeners grow to look like their soil.), and wistful (You've got to be a bit of a dreamer to get the most out of your garden.
