A perpetual diary, with photographs of plants and gardens on every spread, in which gardeners can record personal notes on their garden, from reminders of jobs to be done, to seasonal observations. For each month, Rosemary Verey points out the pleasures that each month will bring, as well as the tasks to be done, and at the back of the book there are 30 pages that give additional space for gardeners to itemise plants bought and their position in the garden.
