The Kitchen Gardens at Heligan: Lost Gardening Principles Rediscovered

by Tom Petherick, Melanie Eclare

The Lost Gardens at Heligan sold more than 200,000 copies—and this new look at Britain’s most beloved garden examines one of its chief glories. Originally created to make the house they served self-sufficient, the still-productive kitchen gardens have since undergone a complete restoration under the guidance of Tom Petherick. He, with the help of a leading garden photographer, reveals how he went about his work, and how best to keep flowers, fruit, and the entire output of a good garden. Packed with advice, hints, tips, and professional secrets, it is a must-have for any gardener.
