New Gardening

In this gardening classic, Christopher Lloyd takes a glorious tour through the garden to share his thoughts on how to be more adventurous. Always one to challenge the commonplace or fashionable, his knowledge is unrivalled and the iconoclastic joy with which he dispensed with convention remains completely beguiling. From 'Flower of the Sentimentalists' to a 'Dry Wall Free-for-All', 'Planning a Border' to 'Spring Meetings', his enthusiasm and curiosity shine through on every page. For Lloyd, gardening was nothing if not fun and, believing that 'to be roused into an argumentative frame of mind is in itself no bad thing', his writing is wonderfully stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable.
