The beautiful, and sustainable, perennial planting of Beth Chatto's garden, chosen to suit its varied conditions

Growing flowers to cut and enjoy at home can sharpen our awareness of the world around us and make us more attuned to nature. We find it impossible to walk anywhere without spotting a prized rose in a front garden, a brassica gone to seed on a neighbouring allotment plot or a weedy verge in a carpark and considering its potential for cutting.

This beautifully-illustrated gift book reveals the hidden meanings of over 50 popular flowers.
