Thoughtful Gardening
have until the termination of the newspaper subscription, I get to a previous job in each case the Saturday edition of the Financial Times, from which I ripped out the regular garden column. Most of the articles are neatly filed by Robin Lane Fox, and even today I occasionally leaf through the folder and read me most quickly fixed in the interesting commentary.
A selection of nearly 40 years in weekly garden columns Financial Times by Robin Lane Fox recently under the title "Thoughtful Gardening - Great Plants, Great Gardens, Great Gardeners" published in book form. Divided by seasons, we learn from a visit to the Dutch stock exchange, as the columnist came to adapt his views on the correct location for snowdrops or "Sophie's World" that has nothing to do with the book by Jostein Gaarder. worth reading not only for the Swiss chapter, entitled "On the Schynige plate" is. are particularly pleased with the contributions of Christopher Lloyd, Rosemary Verey, Valerie Finnis and Arthur Hellyer (Robin Lane Fox's predecessor as a garden columnist for the Financial Times).
amazing that this is published garden book after 24 years, the first of Robin Lane Fox. In any event, the wait has been worthwhile. As far as I could, no items from my little column collection is printed in the book. So I will soon be 20 years this "treasure" of yellowed newspaper articles continue to cherish.
