From enclosed medieval gardens to the post-war gardens of the new millennium, The Story of the English Garden explores the relationship between the English and their gardens.
From the ‘get into’ series, Gardening provides instructions for the planting of and caring for of
ten different plants including daffodils, herbs and strawberries. Designed as an exciting introduction for kids, Gardening doesn’t require a large garden space as most of the plants can be grown indoors, and includes various introductions to gardening techniques.
Along the way, Ambra Edwards uncovers
a cast of fascinating people and quirky and unexpected stories
of beauty, passion, power and obsession.
Ideal for Kids!
