Good in a Bed: Garden Writings from the Spectator - Couverture rigide

Ursula Buchan writes a regular gardening column for 'The Spectator' and the 'Independent' and has contributed to numerous newspapers and magazines. After Cambridge University, she trained as a gardener at the Royal Horticultural Society's gardens at Wisley and at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. She has presented two series on flower shows for Channel 4 and has appeared on BBC radio. Her books include 'Gardening for Pleasure', 'Plants for All Seasons' and 'Good in a Bed'. She lives in Cambridgeshire.

Here, Ursula Buchan shares with the reader her own experiences and preferences: her dislike of herb gardens and timid planting, her battles with plastic netting and problems with doing the church flowers. As well as a gold-mine of practical information, Good in a Bed is an intriguing picture of the development of gardening during the 1980s and 1990s.
