About the Author:
Nigel Colborn is a garden writer and broadcaster. A former presenter of the BBC Gardeners World team, he is a regular panellist on BBC Radio 4's Gardeners' Question Time, a gardening columnist for the Daily Mail, and a trustee and Vice Chair of The Royal Horticultural Society. He has written about gardening and the countryside for the Daily Mail, The Times, The Sunday Times and on his own blog, Silver Tree Daze. His many books include The Container Garden (Conrad Octopus) and Plant Solutions (Collins).
From Publishers Weekly:
Here's a rarity-a gardening book with coffee-table appeal that also offers hands-on practical advice. Colburn, a British garden writer and TV personality, leads readers down memory lane for a chatty, intelligent look at gardening practices of yore. Many of these low-tech traditional methods (boiling salted water as a weedkiller, for instance) rely on savvy and elbow grease instead of chemicals and, thus, are right in tune with today's trend toward organic gardening. Divided into three sections, the book covers productive (fruits, vegetables, and herbs) gardens, ornamental (flower) gardens and the elements of a working garden (tools, soil cultivation, propagation, etc.). A fine choice for either browsing or a more thorough read, this handsome tome also includes an abbreviated but informative plant list and an index.
