Celebrating the garden in all its splendid diversity and rich history!
Writing under a variety of nom de plumes, Niall Edworthy has
written over a dozen books covering a wide range of subjects from
military history, biography and outdoor survival to general humour
and sport.
In 2002 Niall and his family swapped their London house with its
tiny, paved north-facing terrace for a new home with a 'proper'
garden at the foot of the South Downs. Niall's love affair with
gardening thus began as an arranged marriage, but quickly blossomed
into a passion. The more time Niall spent in the garden, however,
the more he realised how little he knew about his new obsession.
This book is the result of his quest for more knowledge of gardens
and the wider natural environment.
