Wild Flowers: Country Classics for the Contemporary Garden - Rilegato

Every garden flower was once wild, plucked from the meadow or the woods. Many of these country flowers have been tamed over the course of history, and spread from one continent to another. In this book, following on from his companion volumes on "Perennials" and "Annuals", the author explores more than 70 favourite species that grow wild in the country and are cultivated in gardens. An aromatic mix of history and legend from the old world and the new, this book shows how the antique species of wild flowers can still form the heart of the loveliest gardens.
