In this classic 1960s gardening book, Margery Fish's advice and
enthusiasm for horticulture has stood the test of time and remains
a go-to book for green-thumbed gardeners today. She guides the
reader through techniques for creating and maintaining a cottage
garden with humour and ease, perfect for both beginners and
experienced gardeners.In her imaginative adaption of the
traditional cottage garden style that she saw disappearing around
her, she brought together old-fashioned plants and contemporary
plants in the same vein. Today's mixed borders are a direct
descendant of the style Margery Fish created at East Lambrook Manor
in Somerset, now once again open to the public.Cottage Garden
Flowers covers plants that grow easily and naturally in British
soil, including easy, adaptable bulbs, perennials and shrubs, such
as Astrantia, columbines, daffodils, daisies, Dianthus, foxgloves,
hollyhocks, Japonica, old roses, Phlox, Primula, or Virburnum. No
longer in danger of being forgotten, these traditional flowering
plants have now res-established their place at the heart of garden
design. Graham Rice, the widely published gardening author and the
former London Evening Standard gardening correspondent, has
reviewed the plant names in the original text, providing a plant
name section at the back of the book. This allows readers to
identify current plants from the old Latin names within the text.
