Since Gardenvisit.com deals mainly with the broad scale of garden
history and design, it is a welcome change to look, with Angela Stanford,
at the many details which give pleasure to gardeners. She is an illustrator
of the first order - who also has excellent judgement in quotations.
The two skills have been brought together to create a lovely present
for garden lovers. Pages are devoted to the pleasure of flowers, watering
cans, vegetables, pots and all the intimate details of gardens. Her
lettering is so beautiful it would be worth buying the book for this
alone.
