Liz has always loved gardening ever since she was a child, and is frequently outside in her dressing down first thing in the morning, 'like so many of us who love their gardens.' This is her fourth book of humorous verse, but her first on gardens and gardeners (and probably the first humorous poetry collection ever about amateur gardeners). Nothing misses Liz's warm and wicked wit - snails and slugs, triumphs and disasters, favourite flowers and infuriating weeds, nosy neighbours and expensive tree surgeons, the frustration of overcrowded flower shows - here is everything from the joy of seeing the first crocus to the irritation of losing a much-loved trowel. Laugh through the four seasons as you read over 100 gems, penned in many different styles from classic to modern, and always written straight from the heart.
