Description

'A gem of a book. Full of wisdom, warmth and inspiration. I learned something from every page' NIGEL SLATER

'A delightful book - warm, witty and wise' ALAN TITCHMARSH
'A beautiful refraction of a year, encounters with plants and friends and gardens in the terrific company of Mary Keen. Her diary is a pure delight' EDMUND DE WAAL

'What's your favourite garden?' people ask. And when I answer, 'Mine, of course,' they look surprised.

Over her long career, Mary Keen has created some of the finest gardens in England. But rather than tell the story of those paradises, this is the diary about everyday watchfulness in the places Mary loves best - her own back garden and allotment nearby.

Beginning at the lowest ebb of the grower's year - when November leaves are falling and flowers in retreat - Mary shows us how one's perspective of time changes in the pleasure of nurturing plants. Time can slide to a standstill as you stop to stare at a flower, or flash to the past when another triggers a memory. As the diary records the ordinary, the ephemeral and the horticulturally useful, in a patchwork of life and tasks, we also witness the little dramas in the village where she lives and meet her family and friends who are an integral part of her gardening community.

By the time Diary of a Keen Gardener reaches back to November again, the reader has gained much practical knowledge and come to understand Mary's gardening philosophy, and what she continues to learn about plants, ecology and life. Her diary is an essential book for anyone with an interest in gardening.

'Mary Keen is the Annie Ernaux of the herbaceous border. She has vast reserves of knowledge, an exemplary eye and best of all a roving curiosity and rare openness to experiment and change. A gorgeous, constantly thought-provoking book, beguiling for gardeners and readers alike' OLIVIA LAING
