VITA SACKVILLE WESTS SISSINGHURST: THE CREATION OF A GARDEN

From 1946 to 1957, Vita Sackville-West, the poet, bestselling author and maker of Sissinghurst, wrote a weekly column in the Observer describing her life at Sissinghurst, showing her to be one of the most visionary horticulturalists of the twentieth-century. With additions by Sarah Raven, this book draws on the extraordinary archive, revealing Vita's most loved flowers, as well as offering practical advice for gardeners. Often funny and completely accessibly written with colour and originality, it also describes details of the trials and tribulations of crafting a place of beauty and elegance.
