There is of course that other seminal play, though set in America

but to return to books:

'Green fingers and verdant palms: the handy guide to gardening'

'The Wild Garden' by General Mayhem

'Lettuce Rest: a history of gardeners' retirement homes'

'Biennial Gardening' by Toby Buckland*

'Garden Sage: the wisdom of herbs'

'Astigmatism: short-sighted but not lacking a style'

'Ode to the Dandelion' by William Wordsworth**

'The Cemetary Garden' by Paul Bearer

'Pick your own weeds: a history of failed horticultural enterprises'





* Apologies, that is cruel; I thought he was well-worth more than two seasons on the show.
