Customer Reviews

Dry or Damp - It's garden Flair...
First published in 1978, followed by The Damp Garden 4 years later, this volume was written with a lot of love, care and flair.

Chatto is the goddess of new perennial planting in the UK, although not associated directly to any particular movement.

It is Chatto's integrity that augments her plant knowledge. She plants, writes, and sells unusual plants... A modern Gertrude Jekyll with a twist!
