Extracts from the book:
Garden design is a skilled art. A water feature is not an overflowing drainpipe. A compost heap is not the latest creation by next doors cat, and a border is not a small strip of wallpaper that goes around your fencing at waist height.
Deadheading is for faded. wilted flowers ... not irritating members of the family.
Some gardener’s claim that their clay soil is too heavy. The solution is not to pick it up in the first place.
