A guide to a sustainably planted garden
Beth Chatto
A substantially revised and updated edition of Beth’s original book, The Green Tapestry, published more than 30 years ago. David Ward, the director of the nursery and gardens, and Asa Gregers-Warg, the head gardener have contributed new text on areas of the garden that have been added or remodelled since the original book was written. The plant nursery Beth established and the gardens, recently awarded Grade II listing, have continued to increase in popularly. Her insistence on choosing 'the right plant for the right place' is a message with even greater importance now, when gardening sustainably in an era of climate change presents new challenges in terms of watering.
Illustrated with hundreds of new photographs by Steven Wooster, who has photographed Beth’s garden for many of her books, and with the addition of a practical plant directory, this new edition make a wonderful guide to her very special gardens and her enlightened gardening philosophy.
Beth Chatto’s Nursery and Gardens are now under the leadership of her grand-daughter, Julia Boulton, as its CEO.
