Description

In this light-hearted book, poet and gardener James Fenton describes a hundred plants he would choose to grow from seed. ‘It seemed a simple and interesting idea: what plants would you choose if starting a garden from scratch?’
Includes chapters on flowers for colour, size, or exotic interest; herbs and meadow flowers; climbing vines and tropical species; the micro-meadow; raising plants from seed; and a wealth of personal tips and advice. As Fenton writes, ‘the emphasis is on childish simplicity of approach, and economy of outlay.’
Here is a happy, stylish, thought-provoking exercise in good principles, which exudes that rare thing: common-or-garden sense about gardens.
