DIARY OF A KEEN GARDENER (HB)

Over her long career, Mary Keen has created some of the finest gardens in England. But this is the diary about everyday watchfulness in the places Mary loves best - her own back garden and allotment nearby. As the diary records the ordinary, the ephemeral and the horticulturally useful, in a patchwork of life and tasks, we also witness the little dramas in the village where she lives. By the end, the reader has gained much practical knowledge and come to understand Mary's gardening philosophy.
