The Gift of a Garden

‘This is a book about the comfort and sustenance that can be got from gardening and from the earth, about the wonderful pleasures and fulfilment that I get from my garden.’ Alice TaylorAlice’s garden is her refuge, her solace.

In this book, she invites you into this special place.

Inherited from Uncle Jacky, it was for many years a kind of wilderness, until Alice finally managed to get around to transforming it.

She introduces you to the great variety of plants and objects she has gathered – everything, of course, with its own unique and fascinating story, brought to life by a master storyteller.

Alice’s creativity is seen everywhere in her garden.

It is a wonderful, magical space, full of surprises, where her warm personality infuses every flower, bush, tree, and surface.
