Riassunto

Covering the period 1946-50, In Your Garden is the first volume in a series of four anthologies of V. Sackville-West's articles, which are arranged according to the month in which they were published. Also included are two longer essays by V. Sackville-West, describing a rare seventeenth-century gardening manual and the garden at Hidcote Manor, together with an extract from her 1937 book Some Flowers, which contains vignette descriptions of her favourites.

Recensione:

... the best light reading on the topic to reappear this year are still the collections of newspaper articles by Vita Sackville West ... They unite a literary turn with practical knowledge and a whimsical, inquiring mind and eye. I hope that no generation of new gardeners will grow up without reading such delights ... (Robin Lane Fox Financial Times)

Seasonal, personal and ideas in spades (Country Life)

Best for taking gardens into a different league - she made me see that gardening had links with the poetry and painting I loved. (Mary Keen BBC Gardens Illustrated)

L'autore:

Vita Sackville-West is known as much for her creation of the gardens at Sissinghurst Castle with her husband Harold Nicolson as for her numerous novels, which include The Edwardians and All Passion Spent, her collections of poetry and her gardening articles. A central figure in the Bloomsbury group of artists and writers, she was the model for Virginia Woolf's Orlando. She died in 1962.
