Granta Books Grounding: Finding Home in a Garden
Book SynopsisLulah Ellender's garden in Sussex is an unruly but beloved place. It is also not permanently her own. When just a few weeks after losing her mother, Lulah is told that she and her family might have to leave the rented house that they have made their home, her immediate response is to freeze, to neglect the plants she has spent years cultivating. But before long she finds herself back in the garden, tidying, planning, and planting - putting down roots even though she may not be there to see the shoots emerge. Drawing on her intimate knowledge of this small plot of land in Sussex, as well as her visits to the celebrated gardens close by - Charleston and Sissinghurst, among others - Lulah explores the broader relationship between gardener and garden. From artistic figures such as Vita Sackville-West, Virginia Woolf and Frida Kahlo to the long-gone inhabitants of a ruined village nearby, Lulah considers the ways in which tending the soil, growing plants, and tuning into the unceasing rhythms of nature can help us live with uncertainty and bring a sense of coming home, of feeling grounded, and ultimately of finding one's time-bound place here on Earth. "A lyrical delve into how gardening literally roots us to places and helps us look towards an uncertain future with hope" - Kathy Clugston "A much-needed book that offers a deep and moving insight on motherhood, letting go, and how our gardens can help us" - Alice Vincent, author of RootboundTrade ReviewA deeply moving book that begins in shadow - with a recently-bereaved mother under threat of eviction - and becomes a light-seeking, hope-giving exploration of what it means to cultivate a garden, a life, a legacy, at a time when so many of us will forever rent, never own, the ground we hold dear. Exquisitely-written and full of tender feeling... It is a book like a secret garden, opening doors onto alternative ways of growing and grounding a life -- Tanya ShadrickWe all make our little utopias in our gardens, our attempts to reclaim memories we never had, the futures we hope for implicit in seasons of growth. They are perpetually renewed, here too, in Lulah Ellender's elegant prose and her gathering of personal histories and defiant rites, as the author proposes that optimism which is the garden, our lives, our homes, our hopes, reborn again and again -- Philip HoareThere are turns of phrase to die for in GROUNDING, and I felt like I was given a guided tour through the gardens of others by Lulah's curious eye. A much-needed book that offers a deep and moving insight on motherhood, letting go, and how our gardens can help us -- Alice Vincent, author of RootboundI read GROUNDING as I moved through a period of deep uncertainty; leaving my first garden to step towards a great unknown as a new mother with my small family in tow. Ellender's words delivered such solace; a quiet, soothing reminder that we make home through the way we spend our days - each season we pass through leaving its mark on us - allowing our story to unfurl. This story is one of resilience, honesty, hope and healing. Ellender leads us by the hand through all the gardens we both know and do not; reminding us that to sow is a way to carve a life out of uncertainty; to make room for the returning light, always -- Kerri ní Dochartaigh, author of The Thin PlacesAn intimate exploration of what it means to be rooted in place and of how a garden can become a safe haven in uncertain times -- Sue Stuart-Smith, author of The Well Gardened MindAs Lulah sows, deadheads and weeds she explores her feelings of place and identity, fear and loss. A lyrical delve into how gardening literally roots us to places and helps us look towards an uncertain future with hope -- Kathy Clugston, presenter of BBC Radio 4's Gardeners' Question TimeAn admirer of Ellender's debut Elisabeth's Lists, I also much enjoyed this beguiling blend of memoir and cultural history, in which she describes how she found deep solace in her Sussex garden, even with the threat of eviction from their rented home hanging over her family. While her first instinct was to stop cultivating altogether, she soon went back to putting down roots, even though she knew she might not see the shoots emerge. The result is an absorbing meditation on the reasons that any of us gardens, which had me longing for spring (and ordering a shedload of seeds) -- Caroline Sanderson * Bookseller *Beautifully capture[s] just how important our own patch of ground is to our sense of identity * Daily Mail *Wonderful ... Filled with such a love, such an ache, the child-like need to be understood, the human urge to foster growth -- Jen Campbell * Toast *Glorious... I've read a lot of gardening books... but I've read very few as moving and literary as Grounding * Observer *

Luath Press Ltd You Are What You Grow: Life, Land and the Pursuit
Book SynopsisBased on her hit Allotment Tales column for "The Scotsman and New Consumer Magazine", Antonia Swinson - the First Lady of the allotment - shares, not only her tips for gardening and allotment management, but also the effect of her time spent in the mud. Written with humour and vim You Are What You Grow is her extraordinary original vision of how the world ticks. Scything down the caricature of the allotmenteer, this is a social and political critique from an allotmenteer's point of view. Antonia explores issues such as the history of British land ownership, organic produce and self-sufficiency, community building and the psychological benefits to be found by allotmenteering. The work is divided by season with gardening tips, money saving ideas and promotion of healthy, and organic food.Trade ReviewMore a lively account of her musings over a year spent in her plot than a practical guide to growing radishes, but gives food for thought, as well as for the plate. THE SUNDAY TIMESYou Are What You Grow, Antonia Swinson's charming and amusing essays on our relationship with the earth, allotments and food and her reflections on our relationships with the land are the ideal accompaniment to Shakespeare, taking us out of our fuggy living rooms and into the reality that Shakespeare faced on his yearly returns to Stratford.

Pimpernel Press Ltd You Should Have Been Here Last Week: Sharp
Book SynopsisAn amusing and thought-provoking compendium of columns, articles, essays and reviews from this acute, knowledgeable and irreverent commentator. In a career that has ranged from Country Life to Wallpaper* − spanning the full range between the two, and latterly including the Daily Telegraph and the New York Times − Tim Richardson has gone, both intellectually and geographically, where few other garden writers dare to tread. There are no articles here about the best ways to grow sweet peas or potatoes: Tim is more likely to venture into the realms of art, philosophy or politics. This collection contains articles which have influenced the way we think about gardens − as well as one or two which proved too hot to handle and resulted in his being fired as a columnist. Trade Review"Delightful...a great read for anyone who likes to challenge the status quo, enjoys gardening or visiting gardens and has ever wished they could stick a literary two fingers up!" * A Pentland Garden Diary *"His topics (targets?) are many and varied always spot-on, erudite and beautifully written. I could tempt you with a hundred nuggets but I won't, because every HORTUS reader should leave his armchair right now and go out to buy a copy - preferably from an independent bookseller. You will not be disappointed." -- David Wheeler * Hortus *"The perfect book for the Christmas stocking – small, compact and a little treasure. It is a collection of Tim Richardson’s columns, articles, essays and reviews and they are, first and foremost, entertaining but also informative and thought provoking. Tim Richardon’s style is witty, insightful, provocative and, above all, enjoyable and fun to read. I loved it! Loved it!" * Irish Garden Plant Society blog *"Wide-ranging..Lots of food for thought" * The Irish Garden (Pick of the Month) *“If you want a book to dip into, there is always something interesting to find. And if you want to be amused, exasperated or challenged, then read the lot. The most important thing is that on every page, Richardson takes gardens and gardening seriously.” * Thinkin Gardens *"Here is a collection of articles, essays, reviews and columns written for various publications between 2004 and 2015, on a huge variety of subjects. Some are amusing, some thought-provoking and some are downright contentious. All are worth reading. Tim Richardson is a practiced writer and reviewer of gardens, styles of gardening, designers, and gardeners both living and historic… whether you agree with his views or not, there’s no denying he expresses himself clearly and persuasively." * The Professional Gardener *“A hugely entertaining read with pieces that provide just the right amount of venom” * Gardens Illustrated *"The most independent, thoughtful, challenging gardening critic writing now. Every article here makes entertaining reading as well as being well worth pondering." -- David Sexton * Evening Standard Best Gardening Books of 2016 *"Incisive, witty, opinionated and thought-provoking, its subject matter is engagingly eclectic." -- Fionnuala Fallon * Irish Times *"There is lots of meat (or maybe high quality protein, if you prefer) in these short pieces – plenty to think about, discuss, and to challenge your thinking about gardening. And he is a good writer rich in quotable passages, sometimes cutting, controversial even. It is worth buying, this book and it is not even expensive. I wish there was more garden writing of this quality." * Tikorangi Garden blog, New Zealand *"A collection of short pieces by the marvellously opinionated, self-assured author and historian Tim Richardson...genuinely stimulating." -- Jane Powers * Sunday Times Ireland *"Informed criticism of what contemporary designers are up to is hard to find, but you can depend on Tim Richardson - the best, indeed almost the only, garden polemicist we've got." -- Ursula Buchan * Spectator * "A collection of lively articles by one of the most intelligent garden critics writing today. Richardson is not afraid to prod, tease and question received opinion." -- Caroline Donald * Sunday Times *"Witty and full of perceptive comment." * Times Literary Supplement *"Tim Richardson is our most critically intelligent, observant and humorous garden historian." -- David Sexton"Noone writes better than the English gardening scene than Tim Richardson. He has a formidable range of reference and a brilliant way with words." -- Anna Pavord

Oxford University Press, USA The Oxford Book of Garden Verse
Book SynopsisThere have been poems about gardens for as long as there have been gardens. Gardens have been all things to all men and women: paradoxical sites of pleasure and pain, of safety and danger, art and nature, public spaces and private retreats, places of physical labour and metaphysical reflection. This diversity and versatility have always attracted poets, whose repertory of garden themes on the page matches what garden makers have achieved on the ground.In this anthology successive historical periods of gardening - from enclosed garden and landscape park to Victorian flower-garden and modern patio - are mirrored in verse from the Middle Ages to the present day. While poets have eagerly seized upon the metaphorical associations gardens inspire, they have also been attracted to the opportunities they offer for description, both romantic and robust. As well as being microcosms of society, either perfectly maintained or ill-kempt and overrun, where love can blossom alongside the flowers, or withering and decay may presage death, they are sites of real human labour. The gardener is here celebrated as much as his creation, as are his mundane tasks of weeding and making compost, mowing lawns and tending the allotment.In his Introduction John Dixon Hunt identifies certain themes that recur throughout a selection that ranges from Chaucer to Pope, Marvell to Tennyson, Coleridge to Fleur Adcock, W. B. Yeats to Anthony Hecht, and Rudyard Kipling to Anne Sexton. Particularly fertile in modern examples, this anthology is a riot of literary talent to match the most abundant of gardens.Trade ReviewIt is hard to better poetry as a source for understanding the importance of the garden to human society. There have been other collections of garden verse, but it would be difficult to find one as thorough, intelligent and satisfying as this. It should be on every literate gardeners shelf. TLS`by far the best such anthology yet compiled' Rosemary Pettit, Bookseller'It is the inclusion of a generous number of poems by living writers that gives this anthology its freshness.' Anne Scott-James, Daily Mail'a fascinating new anthology of verse from Oxford University Press' David Vickerman, Western Mail'Anyone who enjoys gardens and gardening could find that this anthology becomes their favourite bedside book. John Dixon Hunt's selection is so deliciously varied and so full of unfamiliar gems that it will surely win over even a normally unpoetical garden-lover.' Patricia Morison, The Oldie'promises to 'delight all those who garden and enjoy gardens, and who relish thje astonishing variety of poetry the garden has inspired' Roddy Llewellyn, The Mail on Sunday`a pleasure to read for all, regardless of how green their fingers may be' Oxford Times'an exhilarating mix of poetry, medieval and modern, haunting and humorous, on topics ranging from college garden to conservatory, potting shed and allotment' Dilly Halpin, Oxford Times'The anthology is certainly a pleasant read for all, regardless of how green their fingers may be.' Emma Howell, Oxford Times'I have always been disappointed by garden anthologies, which rely too heavily on well-known classics and doggerel, but John Dixon-Hunt breaks the mould with the range and depth of his selection. Francesca Greenoak, The Times'here are 239 English-language poems - romantic, witty, robust, wistful, sad and luxuriant - which will appeal to all who delight in gardens and poetry' Sunday Telegraph'a lovely collection of poems from the Middle Ages ... to contemporary poets ... Full of memorable imagery and wonderful descriptions, it is a book to treasure.' Day by Day'here are 239 English-language poems - romantic, witty, robust, wistful, sad and luxuriant - which will appeal to all who delight in gardens and poetry' Sunday Telegraph
