This is a wonderful collection of the much loved John Cushnie's
best writing for the "Daily Telegraph"'s "Gardening" supplement. It
is journalism at its best, in which he achieved the perfect balance
of horticulture and humour, good sense and fun. Cushnie was the
master of the one liner, and pulls his readers into his articles
with vigorous, fast-moving prose that is a joy to read. More than
any other gardening writer today, Cushnie brings his subject alive
- whether the finer points of garden design, the intricacies of
planting up a rock garden, or the romance of growing climbers up a
tree. He was highly opinionated, often contrary, always off-beat,
but dispensed sound horticultural tips and advice with warmth and
humour. When asked by Chris Evans on BBC Radio 2 to comment on
hedges, John Cushnie answered: 'I love yew'. This mischievous
response was typical of Cushnie - funny, quick witted and
irreverent - and resulted in Evans nicknaming him 'The Hedge Man'.
