An exciting and practical guide to working with natural light to get the best out of your garden.
The book encourages gardeners to reassess their favourite flowers and how they are planted, describing how a flower bed or border can be revitalised through simple observation of the light patterns and sky colours on a garden plot, and a mixing of colours. This is more than another gardening book, it is a personal odyssey, one woman's observations over a lifetime of gardening -- and hers is a unique tale from the dry heat of Australia to the colder wetter climes of England. Marylyn Abbott has no formal horticultural training. Her inspirational ideas are mingled with down-to-earth advice and hands-on experience; it will entice you into the garden straight away to add drama, light and colour.
