Diary of a Modern Country Gardener by Tamsin Westhorpe is an entertaining, honest, month-by-month account of a year spent managing a four-acre rural garden and smallholding in Britain.
Blending practical gardening advice with warm, self-deprecating humour, Westhorpe candidly shares both the triumphs and the setbacks of country gardening, from battling weather and pests to the satisfaction of a well-timed harvest.
Written with a distinctly British sensibility, it is as much a personal, funny diary of rural life as it is a gardening guide, offering inspiration and useful tips to anyone who gardens on a larger, less manicured scale.
