Down to Earth

London: Frances Lincoln, 2004 Down to Earth is a treasury of gardening ideas, based on Anne Scott-James' experiences in her own small garden on a windy slope on the Berkshire Downs, her visits to some of the loveliest gardens in Britain and a passionate love of gardening. Writing of her 'discoveries, prejudices, setbacks and delights', 'hoping that this book will help other gardeners', she shares her ideas on designing and planting, on the winter garden and the wild garden, on hedges and paths, on books to read and on many other topics. Engagingly written and delightfully illustrated by her husband, Osbert Lancaster, this classic work is as fresh and inspiring as the day it was first published. 191 pages with index; illustrated with photographs. 5 3/8" x 8 1/8
