New Shoots, Old Tips by Caroline Holmes

As heard on BBC Radio 4, broadcaster Caroline Holmes conducts a tour through gardening tips and tales down the ages, from the biblical Noah, who 'began to be a husbandsman, and he planted a vineyard, and he drank of the wine and was drunken' to George Bernard Shaw - 'Gardening is the only unquestionably useful job.' The range of advice is wide in scope, and includes the prescriptions of Roman writers, medieval folklore, descriptions of lost gardens, old wives' tales and modern authorities. On any given topic, from seed saving to vegetable growing to garden tools, New Shoots, Old Tips presents thousands of years of wit and wisdom. New Shoots, Old Tips received the Garden Writers' Guild Radio Broadcast of the Year Award 2001.
