James Fenton, A Garden from a Hundred Packets of Seed.
http://www.nottinghilleditions.com/books/a-garden-from-a-hundred-packets-of-seed/207
In this light-hearted essay, James Fenton describes a
hundred plants he would choose to grow from seed. Flowers for colour, size, or
exotic interest; herbs and meadow flowers; climbing vines and tropical species…
Here is a happy, stylish, thought-provoking exercise in good principles, which
exudes that rare thing: common-or-garden sense about gardens.
‘It seemed a simple and interesting idea: what plants would
you choose if starting a garden from scratch, given that you were only allowed
to propagate them from seed? . . . The emphasis is on childish simplicity of
approach, and economy of outlay.’ – James Fenton
