5.0 out of 5 stars A book to refer to time and again, 26 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Creative Vegetable Gardening: The Art of Combining Fruitfulness and Beauty (Paperback)
This is a sumptuous book with an infectous enthusiasm for all things edible and decorative. It has become a firm favourite of mine. It offers loads of ideas of combinations, both formal and informal, which will work in gardens small and large, and the author conveys confidence in her readers' creative abilities which makes you yearn to have a go. She encourages experimentation and letting plants run to flower and seed, with disdain for the rigidly controlled potager. There is a detailed section at the back including 'planning for succession' for year round produce and beauty, and a 'directory' for detailed information on plant requirements and habits. The paper is fine quality and the wealth of pictures are gorgeous. A really lovely book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 7 Feb 2006
This review is from: Creative Vegetable Gardening (Paperback)
If you're a creative person, and have a veg garden, then this book is for you.

It offers great inspiration on making the vegetable garden look good, getting away from the traditional straight lines, what to put with what in terms of textures and colours among other aspects, and how to create dramatic effects in the potager.

Lovely book.
