Beth Chatto's Garden Notebook was originally published in 1998 and has recently been republished with a foreword by Monty Don.
Beth Chatto OBE VMH was one of the greatest plantswomen of our time, and has influenced a generation of gardeners and horticulturalists.
In this beautifully written book, she shares the hopes, successes - and sometimes failures - of her work.
"The other way to propagate it is by division, but it is reluctant to divide itself into moveable pieces, although I know it can. We consider some of our rare plants to be 'signed copies of limited editions' when only a few can be spared each year, but this lovely plant has so far defied my attempts to 'publish' her. However I shall keep trying"
Written from notes she kept, this engaging book is full of delights for any gardener or plant lover.
