Down To Earth

First published in 1971, Down to Earth is a gardening classic: a treasury ofardening ideas on a wide range of topics. Ideas on designing and planting,deas for the winter garden and the wild garden, ideas for planting the oddorner or filling the August gap, ideas for hedges and climbing plants, pathsnd windbreaks, ideas on books to read and gardens to visit. Anne Scott-James, devoted but amateur gardener, writes about her own garden, made, like soany, with too little time, money and professional help, full ofmperfections but a continual source of pleasure. She also writes about manyther gardens all over Britain, and the practical and imaginative ideas sheas collected from them. The text is engagingly illustrated with cartoons byer husband, Osbert Lancaster.
