In this light-hearted book, poet and gardener James Fenton describes a Hundred plants he would choose to grow From seed.
As Fenton writes, \'the emphasis is on childish simplicity of approach, and economy of outlay.\' Here is a happy, stylish, thought-provoking exercise in good principles, which exudes that rare thing: common-or-Garden sense about gardens.. \'It seemed a simple and interesting idea: what plants would you choose if starting a Garden From scratch?\' Includes chapters on flowers for colour, size, or exotic interest; herbs and meadow flowers; climbing vines and tropical species; the micro-meadow; raising plants From seed; and a wealth of personal tips and advice.
