The Adventurous Gardener

by Christopher Lloyd, Fergus Garrett

In this gardening classic the forever adventurous Christopher Lloyd takes us on a tour through the garden, stopping to lecture here, to exhort there, to overturn the old and accepted when his experience prompts him. He ponders, suggests, explains, ruminates, always delighting the reader with the sharpness of his observations and the eloquence of his prose. For Christopher Lloyd gardening is nothing if not fun, and he makes it equally enjoyable for his readers.

I only dipped into this but quickly found several very useful pieces of advice on pruning lilacs and other specific issues. Lloyd is opinionated but open-minded too with a distinctive voice. Now Great Dixter is at the top of my British gardens-to-visit list.
