A Flower for Every DayThe author of the classic gardening memoir, "We Made a Garden," now turns her attention to year-round flowering color for your garden. This intensely satisfying use of the garden as a changing, year-round spectacle is based on the magnificent cottage gardens at East Lambrook Manor in Somerset that Margery Fish and her husband cultivated, pruned and watered to the delight of American gardening enthusiasts today. A Flower for Every Day is a treasure house of ideas for prolonging and varying the planting season in all temperate climates. |
