‘The Education of a Gardener’ offers charming, sometimes pointed anecdotes about patrons, colleagues and, of course, gardens, together with lucid advice for the gardener. Page discusses how to plan a garden that draws on the energies of the surrounding landscape, determine which plants will do best in which setting, plant for the seasons, handle colour, and combine trees, shrubs and water features to rich and enduring effect.
