Yew And Non-Yew by James Bartholomew

Gardening has become a national obsession and snobbery in gardening is fast-growing and invasive. Mass bedding-out is scorned in some circles. Many would not deign to walk on concrete-based paving stones. No truly snobbish gardener will tolerate begonias. James Bartholomew treats garden snobbery with robust good humour in this charming and fully illustrated book. With vital information on a host of subjects including the top ten best and worst British gardens, questionnaires to determine just how yew your own garden is, a calendar for garden snobs, a guide to the ins and outs of garden architecture and a whole section on gardening gurus from Beth Chatto and Gertrude Jeykll to Roy Strong and Rosemary Verey, Yew and Non-Yew is the indispensable Christmas present for the gardener who has everything (except a leylandii hedge).
