Publisher's Synopsis
Voted 'The Nation's Favourite Garden' in 2019 by garden visitors in conjunction with English Garden magazine and the National Gardens Scheme, featured in the 2022 Channel 5 series on 'Great British Gardens', and described by Country Life as a 'Symphony of colour where flamingos mix with flowers', the garden at Coton Manor, in Northamptonshire, is a dream and a joy - and the passion of owner and hands-on gardener Susie Pasley-Tyler.
In this book, Susie Pasley-Tyler charts how her love of gardening was born at Coton and imparts what she has learned over the past thirty years of developing its many and varied sites, the discoveries that have come to her, the mistakes she has made (and how they were repaired), and above all the sheer delight to be gained from gardening.
Andrew Lawson, pre-eminent garden photographer and colour guru, says, 'Susie Pasley-Tyler's passion for her garden is infectious. Perhaps there should be a health warning that this book will make you want to follow her example, and think again about your own garden.'
Experienced and novice gardeners alike will be encouraged and enlightened by Susie Pasley-Tyler's account of being at the helm of one of the finest gardens in England.
