Description: Charming essays on gardens and gardening by an American living in England. From Publishers Weekly American gardeners transplanted to England are in for culture shock, as Elliott discovered when he moved his gardening activities from the Berkshires to England. In this collection of engaging essays from Horticulture magazine, plus some new pieces, he writes about the foibles of English gardeners and their giant-vegetable competition, about mole wars and about building a stone wall. Elliott praises the National Gardens Scheme, whereby private gardens are open to the public (his own garden doesn't qualify yet). He remarks that gardening is the only art form that works in four dimensions?the usual three, plus time. Other topics are gardening books; a history of lawns and lawn mowers; hedges; and ancient woods. This is a worthy companion to Katherine White in the literature of gardening.
