A beautiful collection of the columns written by Elspeth Thompson for The Sunday Telegraph. Three years in the life of an urban gardener, with mirroring tales from her home garden and her rented allotment that she shared with friends. Much more than a listing of plant names, it reads more like a diary, peppered with stories of her friends and family and allotment neighbors, as well as her triumphs and disasters in the garden... both with plants and physical garden design. For anyone who loves getting their hands in the soil, this book is a must read!
