Product Description

The book encourages gardeners to reassess their favourite flowers and how they are planted, describing how a flower bed or border can be revitalised through simple observation of the light patterns and sky colours on a garden plot, and a mixing of colours. This is more than another gardening book, it is a personal odyssey, one woman's observations over a lifetime of gardening - and hers is a unique tale from the dry heat of Australia to the colder wetter climes of England. Marylyn Abbott has no formal horticultural training. Her inspirational ideas are mingled with down-to-earth advice and hands-on experience; it will entice you into the garden straight away to add drama, light and colour.
