Review
the best light reading on the topic to reappear this year are still the collections of newspaper articles by Vita Sackville West ... They unite a literary turn with practical knowledge and a whimsical, inquiring mind and eye. I hope that no generation of new gardeners will grow up without reading such delights as her In Your Garden Again. (Robin Lane Fox Financial Times )

I was recommended this book by an English friend. It is great as the author also wrote poetry, it is a pleasure to read her talking about the different specis in the garden. So in reality you get two things, the flowers and trees and the wonderful way they are described:)
