'No one writes with more clarity (and wit) about gardening than Ursula Buchan.' Anna Pavord 'England has a proud tradition of garden writing as literature. Ursula Buchan has signally contributed to that tradition.' Sir Roy Strong 'Ursula writes with knowledge and authority, but also with great humour.' Gardener's World 'With the distant rumble of wars and crashing stock markets in our ears, more than ever gardening is a comforting and soul-enlivening occupation,' Ursula Buchan begins her third collection of garden writings - and so she goes on to prove, as she shares some of the ways in which gardening enriches, enlightens and fascinates her. From the agonies of entering the village flower show to the joy of the 'Evelyn' rose, from the importance of expecting the unexpected in weather to a botanical garden that is among the best on earth, from the discovery of a strange creature with a long proboscis to the satisfaction of growing peas, her interests are wide-ranging. Exploring them with dry wit and eloquence, and lightly imparting a great deal of information along the way, she shows how 'we deal, in our gardening lives, with the big themes: nature, climate, work, beauty, bounty, ever striving for that elusive heaven on earth.'
