Informazioni sull?autore
Ruth Petrie is the editor of Cuttings: A Year in the Garden with Christopher Lloyd and The Guardian Book of the Countryside.
Dalla quarta di copertina
A delightful potted history of gardens and gardening from the Guardian archive.
Dal risvolto di copertina interno
Whether covering the opening of the Manchester Zoological Gardens in 1838, commenting on the village school gardens of Cheadle Hulme and Alsager in 1905 or documenting the 'Dig for Victory' campaign in 1939, the Guardian has devoted countless column inches throughout its history to satisfying the seemingly insatiable British passion for gardening.
Notes from the Garden is a selection of the most beguiling green-fingered pieces from the paper's archive, including contributions from writers such as Ronald Blythe, James Fenton and Nancy Banks-Smith, not to mention that late, great battler against gardening pretension, Christopher Lloyd. As well as charting the broad movements of British gardening history over the past 150 years, from cottage gardening and allotment keeping to landscaping and the inexorable rise in popularity of the garden centre, it includes delightful asides such as a letter condemning the fashion for 'damnable tight trousers' that made gardening a contortionist's art and the 2003 'cull' of Derbyshire garden gnomes.
For anyone who likes to spend their days cultivating their own garden, this book is the perfect evening companion.
