From 1946, the poet and novelist Vita Sackville-West wrote a gardening column in the Observer. The columns were later collected into a set of books published between 1951 and 1958. Vita's extensive gardening knowledge, her intense passion for her subject, and her lively literary flair make these classics of garden writing essential for any serious gardener's bookshelf.
