GARDENS

CICERO IS SUPPOSED to have said: “If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need”. I agree, although I’d amend it for the 21st century to: “If you have a few pots and a row of gardening books, you’ll be all right”. Every gardener I know is also a librarian at heart. I know I am, and so I’d like to share with you some of my book choices for this year.
