Overview
"Christopher Lloyd and his garden at Great Dixter in East Sussex, England, have entranced gardeners and garden lovers for decades. The author of numerous books and essays about gardening, he is one of those rare garden writers, like Gertrude Jekyll, whose work achieves the status of literature." "In My Garden collects for the first time Lloyd's renowned essays for Country Life magazine. In rich, literate prose, he shares not only vitally useful horticultural information but also witty, opinionated observations on the many vicissitudes of the gardening life. Lloyd beautifully articulates the unique style of gardening - one of mixed borders brimming with bright colors and bold foliage - that has attracted so many admirers. He makes us smell particular floral scents as if we were standing in the gardens of Dixter with him. And he can be strikingly sensual, as revealed in "The Anatomy of Pears," or romantic, as in "Peel Me a Walnut." Perhaps most important is Lloyd's constant sense of humor, which reflects his belief that "gardening, like living, should be fun." While he concedes that this is not always possible, his essays do remind us not to take ourselves or our gardens too seriously." "To read Christopher Lloyd is a pleasure to be savored over and over again."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
