Description

This classic work on creating a garden was first published in 1956.

We Made a Garden is the story of how Margery Fish, the leading gardener of the 1960s, and her husband Walter transformed an acre of wilderness into a stunning cottage garden, still open to the public at East Lambrook Manor, Somerset, England.

A quirky classic, this book details her creation of a landmark cottage garden, as well as her battles with her husband in the process, who preferred the standard suburban approach. In this beautiful and timeless work, she recounts the trails and tribulations, successes and failures, of her venture with ease and humour.

Topics covered are colourful and diverse, ranging from the most suitable hyssop for the terraced garden through composting, hedges, making paths to the best time to lift and replant tulip bulbs.

Her good sense, practical knowledge and imaginative ideas will encourage and inspire gardeners everywhere.

It has been hailed as everything from a blueprint for the creation of a modern cottage garden to a feminist manifesto.
