<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>An engaging mix of the serious and the playful, and Fenton writes with a lightness of touch perfectly suited to the subject. --Alexander Urquhart, T<i>he Times Literary Supplement</i></b> <p/>Forget structure. Forget trees, shrubs, and perennials. As James Fenton writes, This is not a book about huge projects. It is about thinking your way toward the essential flower garden, by the most traditional of routes: planting some seeds and seeing how they grow. <p/>In this light hearted, instructive, original game of lists, Fenton selects one hundred plants he would choose to grow from seed. Flowers for color, size, and exotic interest; herbs and meadow flowers; climbing vines, tropical species--Fenton describes readily available varieties, and tells how to acquire and grow them. <p/>Here is a happy, stylish, unpretentious, and thought-provoking gardening book that will beguile and inspire both novice and expert alike.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Blatantly flouting current gardening convention, Fenton eschews the tedium of planning a plot's "bones," or layout, in favor of growing flowers that simply appeal to one for their own sake. --<b>Kirkus Reviews</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>James Fenton</b> is a poet, critic, and gardener.
