Publisher's Synopsis
Tessa Newcomb's paintings and drawings of English allotments in their infinite variety beautifully evoke diverse improvised layouts of fruits, flowers, and vegetables. Here, Tessa's pictures are complemented by her perceptive, often humorously pithy writing as she explores the mysterious intimacy of allotment holders with wider nature including 'scatty hens', elusive moles and horses and goats grazing on scrubland.
