Rachel's Journal

Sounds like a great book Rachel, the first gardening book I ever bought myself was Penelope Hobhouse on Gardening published in 1994 and it's one I always find something new in.  On holidays though I always take books like your 100 dream gardens with me from the library, so inspirational.

For nostalgias sake even though the tone is very fruity and he is of an age long gone by (Downton Abbey) Beverley Nichols Down the garden path is a real favourite because behind all the master servant relations and hugely politically incorrect views on ladies he loves his garden to bits and it comes through.

Anne, thank you for your reply. That Penelope Hobhouse book looks very good and I've added it to my wish list. Second hand copies are very cheap on Amazon.

Scrubber, I can't get my head around that book you recommended at all!

rachel if i remember right the christopher lioyds book was on your wish list. the first books i got were the hessyon books and i still refer to them and the polytunnel book by joyce and ben russell would have to be the most ones i keep refering to

The Christopher Lloyd one was indeed on my list, Michelle :)
