Sam MacDonald, a gardener in Clapham London, has written a witty and tender recollections of his childhood in Norfolk, gardens he's worked on, and plants he has known and loved. The book is beautifully illustrated.
I loved this books with its charming illustrations and quirky little musings on plants and gardens and people and the life of a gardener. It's utterly charming and well worth reading. Because it's such a beautiful book I think that it would make a great present.
