A collection of Ursula Buchan's recent garden writing, mostly written under the strapline 'Borderlines' in The Daily Telegraph or 'Gardens' in The Spectator.

Explores the English garden and captures its extraordinary richness and diversity. Focusing on gardens that are open to visitors, this work explains the historical trends and the work of garden makers that have shaped the English gardens. It describes many garden styles such as formality, the landscape tradition, and the Arts and Crafts style.

Featuring dedicated gardeners, this photographic record of the postwar English gardening scene by one of the people at its epicentre is suitable for those with a love of British gardens or horticulture in general.

By selecting over 85 plants - shrubs, climbers, trees, and perennials and other border plants - each photographed in at least two seasons of interest, this title shows how, with imagination and a little planning, your garden can look good throughout the year.
