Publisher's Synopsis
Ursula Buchan is one of those rare gardening writers who is read with pleasure by people who have never picked up a trowel or pruned a rose - in fact by people who don't have gardens at all! In this delightful and witty book, she shares with us her own experiences and preferences; her dislike of herb gardens and timid planting, her battles with plastic netting and problems with doing the church flowers. As well as being a gold-mine of practical information, GOOD IN A BED gives an intriguing picture of the development of gardening during the 1980s and 1990s.
