HISTORY OF WOMEN IN THE GARDEN (PB)

From Eve and her much maligned fruit management skills, to the sixteenth-century housewife who sidestepped accusations of herbal witchcraft while working her plot, to the unconventional Ladies of Llangollen who eloped together and created a gothic garden, this book showcases female horticulturists through the centuries. An enlightening and entertaining read, which will encourage the reader to gain fresh enthusiasm for even the most menial of garden tasks, realising that hundreds of women have trod the garden path before.
