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.
