Description

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.

This is now one of the most important books on gardening ever written.

A beautiful and timeless book on creating a garden. Margery Fish  turned to gardening when she was in her mid-forties and went on to develop the whole concept of a cottage garden.

She had a love of flowers coupled with a passion for nature and made an intensive research into the traditionally grown plants with which cottage gardens in  Britain   were once so densely planted.

In this classic owrk, 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.
