About this product

Product Information

The story of how Beth Chatto created her gravel garden on 'possibly the driest, and the most windswept, piece of soil in England' has a message of hope for gardeners everywhere. At the outset she promised herself: 'This garden was not to be irrigated in times of drought. Once established the plants must fend for themselves or die.' The results, eloquently described by the author and beautifully portrayed in Steven Wooster' s specially commissioned photographs taken through the seasons, testify to the triumphant outcome of the adventure. Showing how her principles can be applied on any scale, this book is an essential read for any gardener facing water shortages and poor soil. Rich with hard-won tips and expressed in Beth Chatto' s matchless style, this is a gardening classic.

  • well written and knowledgeable

    Beth Chatto is in a class of her own...tired of gardeners who cram too much into their books, this one is about right. Another strong point is that she has given proper and through captions to most if not all the photographs, which is SO rare. What is more infuriating than lovely photos, with plants one wants, yet there is no precise caption. Don't worry, she doesn't commit that ever-so-common sin! Thank You Ms Chatto

  • A good read with good planting suggestions.

    The book provides sound advice based on hard experience for difficult planting areas and is a good and fascinating read. I would have liked more colour photographs and my own preference is not to use chemicals so in that respect it feels a bit old fashioned. However there is so much to be gleaned from the planting suggestions that I found it a good read.
