Book description
Britain's favourite gardener Alan Titchmarsh has also been the most
popular contributor to Gardeners' World magazine for the last
twenty years.
This collection of his very best columns, demonstrates just why he is
regularly voted the readers' favourite. His brilliant writings are, in
turn, practical - just how far back should we prune our roses?
- opinionated - I always rail at people who go out on a Sunday
afternoon to tidy their gardens. I mean, a garden is not a sock
drawer - cheeky - I have a theory that gardeners grow to look
like their soil and wistful - You've got to be a bit of a
dreamer to get the most out of your garden.
So lay down your trowel, take off your wellies, sit back and enjoy a
bit of quintessential Titchmarsh.
Alan Titchmarsh is known to millions through the popular BBC TV
programmes British Isles: A Natural History, How to be a Gardener,
Ground Force and Gardeners' World. He has written more than forty
gardening books, as well as seven best-selling novels and his first 2

the millennium New Year Honours list and holds the Victoria Medal of
Honour, the Royal Horticultural Society's highest award. He lives with
