About This Item
Pimpernel Press Ltd, 2019. Well illustrated, large octavo, pp 288, very clean internally, green cloth with the slightest signs of rubbing, a very good copy in a slightly stretched dustwrapper. VERY SCARCE. [A life with plants tells the story of the most influential British plantswoman of the past hundred years. Beth Chatto was the inspiration behind the `right plant, right place' ethos that lies at the heart of modern gardening. She also wrote some of the best-loved gardening books of the twentieth century, among them The Dry Garden, The Damp Garden, and Beth Chatto's Gravel Garden. Some years before her death in May 2018, aged ninety-four, Beth authorized Catherine Horwood to write her biography, with exclusive access to her archive. Beth Chatto: A life with plants also includes extracts from Beth's notebooks and diaries, never previously published, bringing Beth's own distinctive and much-loved voice into the book. Most of the photographs, from Beth's personal archives, have also never been seen in print before. For Beth's legions of fans, Beth Chatto: A life with plants is the personal story behind her beliefs and the struggles and determination that brought her success.]. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Slightly Worn.
