Gardeners' World has been the country's leading gardening programme for nearly four decades, reflecting and sometimes setting the trends in gardening throughout that time. This stunning book looks back at the programme's history, and recalls its greatest highlights - the plants, the projects, and the gardens that have illuminated Friday nights for millions of viewers. This unique celebration features the most popular items on the show, including the nation's favourite flowers and gardens, Alan Titchmarsh's seaside garden and the author's own healing garden, plus large gardens such as the spectacular Sissinghurst, basement gardens and gardens abroad. Presenters remember their personal favourites, while this book also offers their formidable collective wisdom on more prosaic matters such the despatching of bugs, slugs and other thugs, and coping with floods, snow, and wind.
