Reviews

Thomas gives shape to a delightful memoir by reflecting back on the hundreds of plants he selected for his own gardens. Over decades spanning an illustrious career encompassing garden writing, botanical illustration, and restoration work on gardens of the National Trust, Thomas found time to create three distinctive gardens of his own. Calling upon the fascinating details contained in gardening diaries, Thomas graciously shares the wisdom gleaned from a concentrated involvement with designing, planting, and maintaining his personal gardens. A wealth of insights into winning plant combinations and elements essential to planning the layout of a garden will prove appealing to keen gardeners who wish to be inspired by a master horticulturist. For all his accomplishments and honors received, however, Thomas is refreshingly modest and a charming companion and a brilliant guide. He concludes with musings on the beauty of flowers and, on the practical side, an informative plant index. Alice Joyce
