Why read it?
1 author picked A Year in the Life of Beth Chatto's Gardens as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

What you’re unlikely to be able to do, unless you live locally, is to visit several times over the course of a year. This book, beautifully photographed by Rachel Warne, permits you that pleasure, allowing you to see how the garden changes through the seasons and enabling you to identify interesting plants you might like to try in your own plot. Stipa barbata and Ranunculus acris ‘Sulphureus’ are two of my favourite discoveries.
From Natasha's list on making you want to visit more gardens.
