Gardening Mad
by Monty Don
Humorous, charmingly idiosyncratic, full of trenchant observations and great tips, Monty Don entertains and educates the arm-chair gardener and the passionate life-long gardener alike. His essays are complimented by the exquisite photographs of Fleur Olby, which capture the sensuality of plants and flowers with an unusually striking grace. Composed around the calendar year, this visually stunning book covers a great melange of subjects, including Valentine Roses, Novice Gardening, Apples, Red!, New Age Gardening, Christmas Trees, and Neighbors. Don writes about gardening as an experience, rather than a particular science, integrating hard work, vitality, and esprit in a enthusiastic examination of the gardening life.
