ON THE BOOK SHELF
With its thoughtful notes and observations on the gradual evolution of the garden through the seasons, accompanied by beautiful and atmospheric photography,
Grow and Gather by Grace Alexander (£20, Quadrille) is part romantic gardener’s diary, and part practical guide to creating beautiful flower arrangements from home-grown blooms. With advice on planting and nurturing a variety of florals, Grace also highlights the importance of texture, colour and shape when approaching projects for creating table displays and arrangements.
