RHS ROSES: AN INSPIRATIONAL GUIDE TO CHOOSING AND GROWING THE BEST ROSES <\/strong>by Michael Marriott<\/h4>\n\n

Dorling Kindersley, \u00a324.99
ISBN 978-0241543894<\/p>\n\n

Roses are versatile shrubs and Michael Marriott\u2019s brilliant practical guide demonstrates how to use them to their best effect.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Reviewer Matthew Reese is head gardener at Malverleys.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Michael Marriott, one of the world\u2019s leading rosarians and for 35 years an integral part of David Austin Roses, has produced a sound and very practical guide for gardeners in this book. It\u2019s a far cry from the more traditional rose encyclopaedias where roses are catalogued according to their parentage or classification \u2013a fine method for the rosarian, but not always the most convenient approach for the gardener. Here instead we have an easy-to-follow introduction to roses with comprehensive information on how they might best be used in the garden.<\/p>\n\n

The book is divided up into five main chapters, with each chapter divided again into smaller, bite-sized subchapters.<\/p>\n\n

The introductory chapter briefly outlines the history of the rose and discusses scent.<\/p>\n\n

The next chapter, titled \u2018Rose inspiration\u2019, advises on how to use the plants, be it in a rose garden, mixed border or even as a hedge. Under the heading \u2018Growing up and over\u2019 there are individual paragraphs on walls, arches, pergolas, obelisks and trees that describe in detail many good ideas on how roses might be used to adorn these structures. There are chapters on rose types and also cultivation, but it is the penultimate chapter called the \u2018Rose selector\u2019 that will appeal to many.<\/p>\n\n

Here roses are profiled as to how they might be used in the garden with interesting descriptions and photographs.<\/p>\n\n

Among the potential growing situations included in this section are roses for the front of the border, containers, tight spaces and wild areas, and those that are ideal for cutting.<\/p>\n\n

This is the sort of practical information that gardeners want, and RHS <\/em>Roses <\/em>has it in spades. It\u2019s beautifully illustrated throughout, well presented, and is written in an easy-to-follow style.<\/p>\n\n

I would recommend this book to both professional and amateur gardeners, as it is an inspirational and accessible guide for growing roses in the garden.<\/p>\n\n

BORDE HILL GARDEN: <\/strong>A PLANT HUNTER\u2019S PARADISE <\/strong>by Vanessa Berridge<\/h4>\n\n

Merrell, \u00a340
ISBN 978-1858946900<\/p>\n\n

Thoroughly researched and exquisitely illustrated, this impressive book combines a history and tour of one of the finest gardens in West Sussex.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Reviewer Claire Masset is a freelance garden writer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019ve never visited Borde Hill Garden, this book will make you want to. For one, the photographs by John Glover are superb, atmospherically conveying the garden\u2019s changing moods and astonishing horticultural variety.<\/p>\n\n

Visually stunning it may be, but this book is more than your standard coffee-table fare. \u2018To the visitor today, Borde Hill offers, quite simply, the world in one garden,\u2019 writes author Vanessa Berridge. A bold claim, but she goes on to show just how and why this is so.<\/p>\n\n

The book is divided into two parts. The first is an in-depth history of Borde Hill from its Elizabethan origins to the present day. Accompanying the text are family portraits, old views of the house and garden, collection items, letters and plant lists. Re-telling history without sounding dry or academic is a difficult task, but Berridge \u2013 an accomplished writer and researcher \u2013 does so with ease and elegance.<\/p>\n\n

The second, longer part of the book offers a tour of the garden. Berridge describes all 15 of the garden areas \u2013 from the Old Rhododendron Garden and the famous Rose Garden to smaller gems, such as the jungle-like Round Dell and dreamy Paradise Walk. Here too Berridge shows great skill, weaving botanical information with historical fact and her own evocative descriptions.<\/p>\n\n

Of particular interest are the garden\u2019s recent enhancements and additions, which current owners Andrewjohn and Eleni Stephenson Clarke have made since the late 1980s. We learn how the couple have turned Borde Hill into \u2018a garden for all seasons\u2019 with new creations from leading contemporary designers such as Chris Beardshaw and Noel Kingsbury.<\/p>\n\n

Like the main text, captions are well crafted, and there is additional information on historical Borde Hill plants, plus a list of champion trees and a useful timeline. Berridge has left no stone unturned and produced, together with Glover, a magnificent book.<\/p>\n\n

CUT FLOWERS: BLOOM GARDENER\u2019S GUIDE <\/strong>by Celestina Robertson<\/h4>\n\n

Frances Lincoln, \u00a312.99
ISBN 978-0711269958<\/p>\n\n

A delightful manual on the ethics and practicalities of growing, harvesting and arranging your own beautiful cut flowers year round.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Reviewer Rae Spencer-Jones is a garden writer and RHS books publisher.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Cut Flowers <\/em>is an almost pocket-sized title that contains a surprising amount of hardworking information. It begins by setting the context for why we should grow our own cut flowers. Spotlighting the mass-market flower industry, grower Celestina Robertson highlights the use of chemicals, carbon emissions, which are greater in flowers grown in European glasshouses than those flown over from Africa, and questionable employee welfare practices.<\/p>\n\n

The good news is that communities of small-scale growers are increasing. The \u2018slow flower movement\u2019, which operates on similar principles to the \u2018slow food movement\u2019 of social and environmental justice, is happily on the rise.<\/p>\n\n

Beyond industry ethics, Cut <\/em>Flowers <\/em>delivers the promise of its lengthy subtitle with advice on how to prepare the ground, sow seed, nurture, harvest and fill your vases. There is much to know and Robertson packs it in.<\/p>\n\n

First, not all cut flowers are made equal. The ability to remain hydrated is crucial (avoid pear blossom and elder) and steer clear of plants that suffer from \u2018shattering\u2019 (a sudden drop of petals). There is also guidance on growing for floral design, how much to grow and colour schemes.<\/p>\n\n

Then there is the nitty-gritty of planning your space. If it is tiny, use one good-sized pot or grow climbers. If it is shady, choose from the list of shadeloving plants. Robertson delivers sustainable practices of horticulture \u2013 create no-dig beds and use water-saving drip irrigation. A seasonal plant catalogue with lovely evocative photography provides tips for each plant on when to cut, vase life and how to dry. Finally, readers learn how to care, condition and arrange their flowers \u2013 recipes are provided for inspiration.<\/p>\n\n

If you care about the provenance of the products you buy, and the benefits of sustainable and ethical practices, or you\u2019re a novice grower who wants to know more, then Cut <\/em>Flowers <\/em>is the book for you.<\/p>\n\n

GROW 5: SIMPLE SEASONAL RECIPES FOR SMALL OUTDOOR SPACES WITH JUST FIVE PLANTS<\/strong> by Lucy Bellamy<\/h4>\n\n

Mitchell Beazley, \u00a322
ISBN 978-1784727611<\/p>\n\n

A beautiful book for small-space growing that shows how to use a limited palette of carefully selected plants for maximum impact.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Reviewer Louise Curley is a freelance garden and nature writer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

We\u2019ve all been in a garden centre, nursery or at a plant fair surrounded by a plethora of plants at their peak and felt like a child in a sweet shop. The choice can be overwhelming, and the result is often some rather random purchases, which once you\u2019ve got them home you realise you don\u2019t know what to do with them.<\/p>\n\n

If you\u2019d like your planting to look more considered rather than a horticultural hotchpotch, then Grow <\/em>5 <\/em>will guide you through the process of combining plants, whether it\u2019s using a particular theme, such as a wildflower meadow, ancient woodland or winter seedheads, or a colour scheme. Aimed at those with a small urban space, like author Bellamy\u2019s own Bristol back garden, the simple but clever idea is that each of the 52 projects spanning the gardening year uses a selection of only five different plants.<\/p>\n\n

Why five plants? Nature was Bellamy\u2019s inspiration. \u2018Think of a woodland floor in early spring woven with celandine, wood anemone, primroses, sweet violets and grasses or mixed moorland grasses with harebells and orchids \u2013 all repeating palettes of just a few plants.\u2019 By focusing on just five plants it\u2019s easier to see the interaction of different forms, textures and colours, and see why certain plants work well together.<\/p>\n\n

Each of the 52 \u2018recipes\u2019 has a an \u2018ingredients\u2019 list and a guide on how to create the look, with brief details about each plant, alternative suggestions, and \u2013a nice addition \u2013 the wildlife they will benefit. Several recipes from different seasons could be used to create a succession of interest throughout the year, allowing readers to build up their own planting plans.<\/p>\n\n

Some details about plant hardiness \u2013 some wouldn\u2019t survive winter in my Yorkshire garden \u2013 and what to do with plants in containers when they\u2019ve outgrown their confines would have been helpful. But the enticing photographs by Jason Ingram and interesting plant groupings make this a pleasing book that will give you plant-combining confidence.<\/p>\n\n

ENGLISH GARDEN ECCENTRICS: THREE HUNDRED YEARS OF EXTRAORDINARY GROVES, BURROWINGS, MOUNTAINS AND MENAGERIES <\/strong>by Todd Longsta e-Gowan<\/h4>\n\n

Yale University Press, \u00a330
ISBN 978-1913107260<\/p>\n\n

An entertaining account of eccentric garden makers who created intensely personal gardens between the early 17th and 20th centuries.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Reviewer Advolly Richmond is a researcher in garden history.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Who would you bequeath your gold pheasants, blue macaw and \u2018other feathered prisoners\u2019 to? A dilemma faced by Lady Reade whose \u2018avian zeal\u2019 and remarkable garden made her a reluctant celebrity. In English <\/em>Garden <\/em>Eccentrics, <\/em>landscape architect and historian Todd Longstaffe-Gowan introduces the reader to a cast of unconventional characters with their individual passions and yes, their obsessions.<\/p>\n\n

The author delights us with the surprising tales behind the 20 or so individuals who from the early 17th century through to the beginning of the 20th century fashioned a range of unusual gardens. In many cases their endeavours were born out of personal misfortune, afflictions, scandals and undisguised curiosity.<\/p>\n\n

I was acquainted with some of the stories, but the attention to detail and remarkable images brought a new perspective to familiar accounts. The vivid contemporary visitor accounts brought the people, gardens and their idiosyncrasies to life.<\/p>\n\n

Each vignette explores a garden and their designers. We are introduced to people driven by many emotions, the \u2018Mole Duke\u2019 at Harcourt House and his compulsive excavation of garden tunnels in search of privacy. At Elvaston Castle, Charles Stanhope, 4th Earl of Harrington, was besotted with his young bride, and created a shrine to their undying love through a series of romantic but extraordinary gardens full of incredible topiary. The curious beauty of the gardens remained a secret until his death.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The stories are amusing, at times tinged with sadness but always informative and very entertaining. Each chapter is to be savoured, because these gardens \u2018functioned as a form of biography\u2019 with each personality revealing themselves through their creativity. The poignant current status of each site in the conclusion confirms the obvious transience of their creations, which were so lovingly curated. I loved this book; I want to invite them all to take tea with me.<\/p>\n\n

LOTUSLAND<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Edited by the board and sta of Lotusland and written with the assistance of Clinton Smith. Foreword by Marc Appleton<\/p>\n\n

Rizzoli, \u00a342.50
ISBN 978-0847869893<\/p>\n\n

A sumptuous visual celebration of a Californian garden that is a quirkily designed yet botanically serious one-of-a-kind, eccentric space.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Reviewer Tim Richardson is a garden writer and critic.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s easy to dismiss a garden such as Lotusland as being merely quirky or eccentric (Nikki de Sant Phalle\u2019s Tarot Garden in Italy also springs to mind in this light). But as this sumptuous celebration book shows, it\u2019s most certainly possible to blend an idiosyncratic \u2013 if not downright kooky \u2013 vision with proper botanical intent.<\/p>\n\n

That is the story of Ganna Walska\u2019s garden in California\u2019s Montecito Heights. Always known as \u2018Madame\u2019, in 1941 the sometime opera singer and pioneer yoga enthusiast sunk all her hopes (and funds) into a 37-acre garden of succulents, cacti, aloes, ferns and cycads.<\/p>\n\n

Lotusland was conceived as a series of fantastical episodes featuring a sm\u00f6rg\u00e5sbord of giant clamshells, chunks of coloured glass and statuary, and a style that wanders freely from ancient Japanese to classical Italian to Spanish vernacular. If it sounds like a car crash, it isn\u2019t \u2013 because the mature plants hold everything together wonderfully well.<\/p>\n\n

A roster of professional botanists collaborated with Walska on the planting, and the result is a garden of some 35,000 named specimens that still attracts specialists. A visit truly is a unique experience, and if Madame\u2019s sixth and final marriage did not survive the experiment, then the garden at least has continued to burgeon since it was opened to the public in 1993.<\/p>\n\n

This book has the feel of an official publication, and accordingly Lisa Romerein\u2019s sensitive photographs foreground the garden\u2019s \u2018serious\u2019 side, with less emphasis on the more idiosyncratic design elements.<\/p>\n\n

If we lose a little of the \u2018quirk\u2019 in the process, the plants \u2013 and especially the mineral landscape in which they are set \u2013 are brought to life in close-up and large-format photographic spreads. This is very much a picture book, but the texts, though brief, are concisely informative.<\/p>\n\n

WHAT TO SOW, GROW AND DO: A SEASONAL GARDEN GUIDE<\/strong> by Benjamin Pope<\/h4>\n\n

Frances Lincoln, \u00a322
ISBN 978-0711269934<\/p>\n\n

A thoughtful and inspiring book on how to create a thriving, beautiful and productive garden, including advice on monthly tasks and timely checklists.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Reviewer Aaron Bertelsen is a vegetable gardener and author.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

With this, his first book, Benjamin Pope has pulled off the neat trick of appealing to beginner and more experienced gardeners alike. No matter how many years you have had your hands in the soil, it is always good to be reminded not only of the right way to tackle essential tasks such as pruning and propagation, but also of the importance of observing what is going on around you. As the author quite rightly says, one of the best things about gardening is that you never stop learning.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Season by season, we are guided through the process of planning, preparing and managing the garden. As a visual person, I found the extremely clear pictures accompanying Pope\u2019s explanations very useful. For each stage of the year, he picks out an interesting selection of trees, shrubs and plants that will be at their best, and provides a handy list of seasonal tasks.<\/p>\n\n

But he also goes further, encouraging us to really embrace and celebrate the season, whether by creating a seasonal arrangement, foraging for delicacies such as elderflowers to make cordial, or preserving the precious traditions that connect us to the rhythms of the wider natural world. While I cannot say for sure that I will be singing to my fruit trees, I may well recreate the part of the wassailing ceremony that involves raising a glass to their good health.<\/p>\n\n

I will also be following Pope\u2019s excellent advice on supporting bird life by providing food and water and materials for nesting \u2013 something I am keen to do in my own new garden.<\/p>\n\n

This is a thoughtful and inspiring book by an author who truly understands \u2013 and values \u2013 the work involved in creating a garden, but also recognises the importance of stepping back and appreciating the moments of beauty that make the effort worthwhile. It\u2019s often said that gardening is good for mind, body and soul. With this book, Pope proves that point, and his own credentials with some glimpses of the glorious garden where he works.<\/p>\n\n
