Customer Reviews
The best - Rated Christopher Lloyd was a passionate gardener with much practical experience from running his own extensive gardens at Great Dixter, Sussex. This book with over thirty sections under six main headings covers almost every aspect of gardening in a fresh and questioning manner, often dispelling long held opinions. In addition the book is illustrated with many of the author's own photographs (1973 edition). It also has a glossary and substantial index. Christopher Lloyd's writing is outspoken, opinionated, witty, entertaining, authoritative, practical, informative, one could go on, but above all it is a sheer pleasure to read. Without doubt Christopher Lloyd was one of the greatest garden writers, and this book must rank among his best. This offering notwithstanding its age is an absolute gem; with so many shallow gardening books now being published writing such calibre only goes to highlight the dearth of able garden writers today. A superb read for any keen gardening bookworm. - Rated As a recent garden convert, I found this book not only practical, but sensible and entertaining. I have devoured many a gardening book and monthly magazine, but not one has explained ideas behind gardening in such an uncomplicated and chatty way. I love the way he encourages the gardener to be flexible, experimental and instinctive. I finally understand pruning - so it must be good! A gardening classic that doesn't date - Rated Christophers writing on gardening is one of the few excuses busy gardeners have for staying in bed, being warm and indulging oneself and still enhancing our plant repetiore. I devour his books like the best of my home grown produce and for someone of his great years he is probably the greatest living gardener this green isle has to offer. I highly recommend anything he writes. Temperament - Rated 30 years on, this is still temper-proof... Lloyd takes no prisoners - manure, to wild gardening in grass, and what not. He did it. He grew it. He smelt it. So listen to him! The story flows, advice as practical as it can get, and the index is extensive as the varieties grown. Did you start sounding like him? digging like him? ranting like him? You better watch it - you're mind might have been tempered!
