In "The Curious Gardener," Anna Pavord brings together in 12 chapters - one from each month of the year - 72 pieces on all aspects of gardening.
From what to do in each month and how to get the best from flowers, plants, herbs, fruit and vegetables, through reflections on the weather, soil, the English landscape and favourite old gardening clothes, to office greenery, spring in New York, waterfalls, Derek Jarman and garden design, Anna Pavord always has something interesting to say and says it with great style and candour.
The perfect book to guide you through the gardening year and, on days when the weather keeps the most courageous gardener indoors, the perfect book to curl up with beside the fire.

The "Colour Garden Series" explores the possibilities of tint, tone and hue. Each of the four volumes presents the most effective and aesthetic uses for a specific colour theme and supplies detailed plant lists for each, along with cultivation instructions and blooming periods. Focusing on the red family of flowers and plants, this text presents the fiery shades of vibrant scarlet and salmon to the cool cerise of cistus and velvety tea roses of the palest pink. Organized into chapters on beds and borders, containers, roses, foliage and fruit, and finishing with a section on complementary colour schemes, this book offers a palette of ideas for anyone who wants to create a garden with impact.
