Overview
In this gardening classic the forever adventurous Christopher Lloyd takes us on a tour through the garden, stopping to lecture here, to exhort there, to overturn the old and accepted when his experience prompts him. He ponders, suggests, explains, ruminates, always delighting the reader with the sharpness of his observations and the eloquence of his prose. For Christopher Lloyd gardening is nothing if not fun, and he makes it equally enjoyable for his readers.Editorials

This master English garden writer (The Well-tempered Garden) exhorts us to heed the credo declared in the forward: "The best gardening is experimental as well as ephemeral." Lloyd plants his philosophy around the themes of: taking care and taking more, mainly woody, seasons and situations, and people, plans and plants. Originally published by Random House.
