This is one of those delightful books that you can pick up and dip into time and time again.For anyone struggling to create a garden in challenging conditions it is inspirational. Clare and her partner moved to the Chilterns in the1930's onto land that had been a meadow, with clay soil on a windy hill.The writing is almost poetic and her own accompanying illustrations exquisite wood engravings.Not an instructional manual - just pure joy!
