A Garden from Hundred Packets of Seed by James Fenton

What plants would you choose to grow, given an empty patch, and given the stipulation that you don't want to spend six months first designing it on a piece of graph paper and that everything you grow in this garden must be raised by you from seed? What would you like to eat next year, which flowers would give you most pleasure? With this simple premise, James Fenton sets out his happy vision of a garden, and devises the perfect starter kit for gardens as modest as a face flannel on a windowsill, or as grand as Versailles.
James Fenton is a poet, critic and gardener. Until recently Professor of Poetry at Oxford University, he has created a beautiful garden from scratch at his country house outside the city. He writes on poetry, art history and gardening for the New York Review of Books.
