The Gardener's Bed-Book by Richardson Wright

The Gardener's Bed-Book by Richardson Wright

First published in 1929, The Gardener's Bed-Book is a much beloved gardening classic by the renowned editor of House & Garden magazine in the 1920s and '30s. Each of its 365 perfectly sized little essays is meant to be read in bed at night after a long day's work, either real or imagined, in the garden. A charming and mischievously funny companion to curl up with, Wright ranges comfortably-and lyrically-from giving gardening advice to meditating on such topics as antique collecting and travel, great literature and architecture. He is an addictive delight, as memorable describing the challenges of growing plume poppies as he is the simple pleasure of hanging up the dish towel once the housework is done. Written in language that is as timeless as it is seductive, THE GARDENER'S BED-BOOK will appeal to gardening experts and armchair enthusiasts alike.

Richardson Wright (1887-1961), the editor in chief of House & Garden for more than 35 years and one of the most prolific horticultural writers in the early twentieth century, was a prolific horticultural writer. Michael Pollan is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Botany of Desire (available through Random House Trade Paperbacks) and Second Nature, which was chosen by the American Horticultural Society as one of the top gardening books of the twentieth century. He is a contributing editor at Harper's magazine and a writer for The New York Times Magazine.
