From a disaster building a rock garden, to further adventures with greenhouses, woodland gardens, not to mention cats and treacle, Nichols has left us a true gardening classic. For every thought-provoking Professor, there is an intrusive Miss M, whose chief offense may be that she is a 'damnably efficient' gardener. ![]() For every angelic Miss Hazlitt there is an insufferable Miss Wilkins waiting in the wings. Beverley Nichols proudly declares his status as a newcomer to gardening: "The best gardening books should be written by those who still have to search their brains for the honeysuckle's languid Latin name." As unforgettable as the plants in the garden is the cast of visitors and neighbors who invariably turn up at inopportune moments.

Description " The Joy Luck Club is one of my favorite books. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Some might say this info-dumpy stuff is perfectly fine in Sci-Fi-I don’t. Plus, pages and pages were devoted to explaining the alternative history when it could’ve been more integrated into the plot-details only appearing when relevant-or at least summarized with far fewer words.
