A real-time, fully illustrated step-by-step personal account of an amateur enthusiast creating a cottage garden – at the same time showing you how you too can create the garden of your dreams. After many years of photographing gardens Mark Bolton decided he wanted to make a garden of his own, from scratch. And what kind of garden? Well, of course, a cottage garden, everybody’s favourite. This is a personal account of how an amateur enthusiast, who has never made a garden before – but who, as a garden photographer, is very conscious of what a good garden should look like – sets out to make a lovely garden of his own. As an inexperienced gardener himself, he always bears in mind the complete gardening novice and includes useful practical information.
