A Garden from 100 Packets of Seed

"A small book, yes, but how it grows in the mind after you put it down. It is a book about propagating plants from seeds, but it also a book about love, for when you love you start from scratch." Jamaica Kincaid In this light-hearted essay, James Fenton describes a hundred plants he would choose to grow from seed. Flowers for colour, size, or exotic interest; herbs and meadow flowers; climbing vines and tropical species... Here is a happy, stylish, thought-provoking exercise in good principles, which excludes that rare thing: common-or-garden sense about gardens. Hardback, clothbound with ribbon marker 96 pages
