In this intimate new volume, he finally finds a cottage in the Cotswolds ready for bold reinvention. What follows is the story of a new beginning: reimagining boundaries and axes, planting hedges and perennials, experimenting with structure and softness, and discovering, season by season, what thrives, what falters and what surprises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in diary form, the book captures the daily rhythms of building a garden from scratch.
