Synopsis
Celebrating the garden in all its splendid diversity and rich history: a collection of facts, curiousities, ancient wisdom and customs, tips and recipes.
Over 1,000 entries of remarkable information about flowers, vegetables, fruits, trees, herbs, insects, birds, water, soil, tools, composts, climate, recipes, gardens and gardeners, myths, superstitions, biodynamics . . . In short, a collection as profuse and variegated as gardening itself.
Woven into this wealth of knowledge are famous quotations, anecdotes, traditional sayings, lines of verse, and words of rural wisdom.
The spirit and focus of the Almanac is British but the wider picture is international. Nothing dry or dull here, the presentation is as appealing as the content.

About the Author
Writing under a variety of nom de plumes, Niall Edworthy has written over a dozen books covering a wide range of subjects from military history, biography and outdoor survival to general humour and sport. In 2002 Niall and his family swapped their London house with its tiny, paved north-facing terrace for a new home with a 'proper' garden at the foot of the South Downs. Niall's love affair with gardening thus began as an arranged marriage, but quickly blossomed into a passion. The more time Niall spent in the garden, however, the more he realised how little he knew about his new obsession. This book is the result of his quest for more knowledge of gardens and the wider natural environment.

A perfect present for the green-fingered" * The Ecologist * "Crammed with weird facts and ephemera, time-honoured tips and old sayings... this charming book defies categorisation. It'll come in handy for the pub quiz, though" * Daily Mail * "Collection of nuggets and ancient wisdom related to gardening" * The Sunday Times * "The Curious Gardener's Almanac is a beautifully written and produced gem of a book. Just the right size to fit into the pocket of a raincoat it is full of helpful hints garnered over the ages" * Living North * "This is a joyous book" * Nottingham Evening Post *
