It is this book, I suspect, that many gardeners would most like to find at the ends of their beds when they wake up on Christmas morning - Independent on Sunday
... a delightful collection of letters ... offers a unique insight into their successes and failures. Candid, amusing, revealing and informative - Daily Telegraph
My favourite read of the year is this entertaining correspondence between our two greatest living gardeners - Sunday Telegraph Magazine
What links and distinguishes (in both senses) these two writers is that they never pass on a received opinion about a plant or gardening practice or theory. Everything they say is rooted firmly in observation and experience so their thoughts and opinions carry weight and value - Hardy Plant
The exhibition, Beth Chatto – A Retrospective, opens 18th November 2008 at the Garden Museum (formerly The Museum of Garden History) Lambeth Palace Road, London, SE1 7LB Phone: 020 7401 8865. Exhibition closes 19th April 2009.
In this exchange of personal letters two of Britain's leading gardeners - Christopher Lloyd and Beth Chatto - share their successes and failures, and learn from each other's experiences in their two very different gardens.
