A Countrywoman's Notes (Hardcover)

This charming book distills the essence of a year in the English countryside, keenly and lovingly observed by one of England's best-loved gardeners. In 12 chapters, Rosemary Verey captures the atmosphere of successive months, encompassing the minutiae of plant and wildlife behavior in garden and hedgerow. As keen to decipher the mysteries of modern farming as to interpret the antiquity of hedges, her knowledge is far-reaching, and the result is informative as well as entertaining. A Countrywoman's Notes comes with a warm commendation in the Foreword by Prince Charles, a Cotswold neighbor, fellow gardener and enthusiast for country ways.
