An English Garden in Provence

by Natasha Spender

Following the recent fire that swept through Natasha Spender's property, destroying much of the land, this is now the only record of the enchanting garden that was lovingly created in the hills of Provence. Natasha Spender, widow of Stephen Spender, recounts her struggle to overcome the arid soils of Provence and to introduce an astonishing variety of plants to the region. A treasure trove for devoted gardeners.

'This is a book to read, to treasure and to share'
