A book about time and the garden: that of the Dower House at Morville. It recalls the monastic past of the house. It covers from the crunch of grass underfoot at midnight on a frosty New Year's Eve to the drip of trees in a melancholy March dawn.
This title offers both the history of the pergola - how it has been used and enjoyed over the centuries - and a manual of design and planting for today's gardener. It looks at the principles of design and the choice and care of suitable plants, before giving detailed drawings for six structures.
Alison Britton and Katherine Swift explore the art and craft of Jim Partridge, an artist who works with wood. His wooden bench, jointly created with Liz Walmsley, graces the Bath to Bristol Sustrans sculpture walk.
