Book Description
An elegant and amusing exchange of letters on life and gardening between two of the world's leading gardeners. In this delightful correspondence, which spans a garden year, two dear friends and celebrated gardeners share their observations, anecdotes, and accumulated wisdom. Beth Chatto, whose mastery of unpromising sites is unequalled, began her garden 30 years ago, tackling the dry, flat, exposed landscape of East Anglia. Triumphing over the most daunting conditions, it is now a mecca for plant lovers. Christopher Lloyd has been no less successful at Great Dixter in Sussex, transforming an old rose garden into a hotbed of brightly colored tender perennials. Brimming with wit and closely-observed detail, their letters are a pleasure and an inspiration. Among Beth Chatto's books are The Dry Garden, The Damp Garden, and The Green Tapestry. Christopher Lloyd has written a host of classics, including The Mixed Border, The Well-Tempered Garden, and The Gardener Cook. 254 pp 5 1/2 x 8 1/2
