The Well-Chosen Garden

Reviews

Lloyd writes as if he were talking, volubly and well. He is funny, encouraging, informative Essential reading The text is lucid, informative and light-hearted; beautifully and usefully illustrated He was the best informed, liveliest and most innovative gardening writer of our times Christopher Lloyd ranks with Gertrude Jekyll and Vita Sackville-West as one of the major figures in twentieth-century British gardening He was the most interesting plantsman I have ever known A gardening classic, as essential to every gardener as a sharp pair of secateurs or a good space Christopher Lloyd taught us that we don't necessarily have to do things very differently - just better, and with all our heart British horticulture is blessed with many inspired plantsmen and elegant writers, but rarely do those qualities combine as seamlessly as in Christopher Lloyd Expand reviews
