'The best informed, liveliest and most innovative gardening writer of our times' GUARDIAN 'Christopher Lloyd ranks with Gertrude Jekyll and Vita Sackville-West as one of the major figures in twentieth-century British gardening' THE TIMES In this gardening classic the forever adventurous Christopher Lloyd takes us on a tour through the garden, to encourage, to reveal and to overturn the old and accepted when experience prompts him. He advises on cuttings, pruning, the art of compromise and takes another look at Miss Jekyll. Gardening was a passion, and throughout his life he developed Great Dixter to be one of Britain's greatest gardens. For Christo gardening is nothing if not fun and - pointing out that 'to be roused into an argumentative frame of mind is in itself no bad thing' - he makes it equally stimulating and enjoyable for his readers.

With essays drawn from years as a garden writer in England, Christopher Lloyd, owner of Grand Dixter, wrote a charming mix of well-informed, humorous, and thought-provoking commentary about a myriad of subjects in the garden. Never one for arrogance, he freely admits to making some terrible errors as well as delightful plant recoveries, prunings that resulted in irretrievable damage or death to shrubs and trees, credits experts with a free hand, and makes gardening accessible to everyone of every level. One of the books I reach for most often.
