A Gentle Plea for Chaos

In this book, the author describes the way her garden evolved and how, without meaning to do so, she let it take over her life. She suggests moving away from planning, regimentation, and gardening with the mentality of a stamp-collector.

• She delves into the world of 19th-century plant-collectors and plant illustrators, bringing their stories to life.
