Description

This captivating chronicle of a countryside garden unveils how its proprietors forged profound bonds with nature, offering insights and techniques applicable to gardeners of all stripes. In 2018, lensmen Susann Probst and Yannic Schon bid farewell to Berlin, embarking on a rural odyssey to cultivate wholesome fare whilst nurturing a thriving ecosystem through sustainable husbandry. Their newfound abode, an antiquated farmhouse, boasted ample acreage for a vegetable patch, orchard, wildflower meadow, and glasshouse.

Brimming with hard-earned wisdom born of ingenuity and experimentation, this tome guides readers through an exquisitely illustrated tour of the estate's evolution over its inaugural lustrum. Susann and Yannic divulge their discoveries on garden design, soil composition, beneficial organisms, so-called pests, edible perennials, plant care, and self-sufficiency, complete with an exhaustive catalogue of their cultivated species and varieties. A breathtaking photographic compendium celebrates the land's splendour through the seasons.

Far more than a mere horticultural handbook, this deeply personal and sumptuously produced volume chronicles the realisation of a lifelong reverie, championing a contemporary approach to rural living that will resonate with anyone seeking to deepen their communion with nature.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
