Description

Vita Sackville-West’s gardening articles for the “Observer,” synthesized into “V. Sackville-West’s Garden Book,” did more “to change the face of English gardening than any other writing.” The showpiece for her style of gardening was the grounds of Sissinghurst Castle, Kent, U.K., which she nurtured over 30 years & transformed into a place of beauty & tranquility. Today, it is the most visited garden in England. This full-color lavishly illus. book will appeal to readers who loved Sackville-West’s Garden Book & will introduce a new generation of gardeners to the delights of the Sissinghurst style. The best of the original “Garden Book” is retained, but at least 80% of this volume is composed of new material, articles that have been out of print for 20 years or more.
