The garden against time : in search of a common paradise / by Laing, Olivia,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 305-312)."In 2020, Olivia Laing began to restore an eighteenth-century walled garden in Suffolk, an overgrown Eden of unusual plants. The work brought to light a crucial question for our age: Who gets to live in paradise, and how can we share it while there's still time? Moving between real and imagined gardens, from Milton's Paradise Lost to John Clare's enclosure elegies, from a wartime sanctuary in Italy to a grotesque aristocratic pleasure ground funded by slavery, Laing interrogates the sometimes shocking cost of making paradise on earth. But the story of the garden doesn't always enact larger patterns of privilege and exclusion. It's also a place of rebel outposts and communal dreams. From the improbable queer utopia conjured by Derek Jarman on the beach at Dungeness to the fertile vision of a common Eden propagated by William Morris, new modes of living can and have been attempted amidst the flower beds, experiments that could prove vital in the coming era of climate change. The result is a humming, glowing tapestry, a beautiful and exacting account of the abundant pleasures and possibilities of gardens: not as a place to hide from the world but as a site of encounter and discovery, bee-loud and pollen-laden." --

The seasoned gardener / by Zorab, Liz,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Dig deeper into the processes of growing your own organic food with Liz Zorab, self-sufficiency practitioner. In this personal gardening journey, she explores seasonal harvests and how the vegetable garden sits within the wider context of the gardening landscape -- including weather, microclimates, water cycles, light levels, seasons and the gardener's personal tastes. Liz's salt of the earth approach to life and to the garden and her gentle humor makes The Seasoned Gardener an easily digestible read. She provides hundreds of practical tips, including how-to guides, observations and inspiration for both the beginner and practiced gardener alike. Unlike many gardening books that run from January to December, this book starts in the autumn, when harvesting is at its peak. Most of the fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers highlighted are grouped according to when we enjoy them most -- at the point of harvest.

The gardener's palette : creating colour harmony in the garden / by Thompson, Jo(Landscape architect),author.; Royal Horticultural Society (Great Britain),issuing body.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."From the world's most respected gardening organization comes a new, soon-to-be classic volume that treats a traditional topic in a new way: a fresh concept of how to present color planting schemes to the reader, fresh graphic display for an encyclopedic topic, and an energetic, renowned garden designer as author who's won multiple medals at Chelsea and elsewhere. In conjunction with the RHS, author Jo Thompson presents a way for home gardeners to think about color that is new to garden publishing but familiar to anyone who's ever painted a room in their home. By referencing the RHS's industry-standard color chip system as if it were paint chips from a hardware store, Jo will create 100 predesigned color palettes, pair them with beautiful full-color hero shots of existing gardens to give readers a feel for how they will look in real life, and run easy-to-decipher, crisply designed and modern-looking charts and thumbnails of flower head shots to present readers with plants in those exact colors that they can use to get the look. We'll also include sidebars on related topics and 10 popular RHS planting schemes, as further inspiration to readers. Combined, these will make the book the most comprehensive volume on garden color ever produced"--
