Description

“A hopeful and expansive book for the gardener who sees a field as a canvas.” —Publishers Weekly 

James Hitchmough is well-regarded in the design world for his exuberant, colorful, and flower-filled meadows. His signature style may also be seen in prominent places like London’s Olympic Park and the Botanic Garden at the University of Oxford. The use of a distinct technique of sowing meadows from seed, he creates plant communities that mimic the dramatic wonderful thing about natural meadows and offer a succession of blooms over many months—a technique that may be adapted to work in both large-scale public gardens and smaller residential gardens. Sowing Beauty shows you how to recreate Hitchmough’s masterful, romantic style. You can will discover ways to design and sow seed mixes that come with a range of plants, both native and exotic, and how to care for the sown spaces over the years. Color photographs show not only the gorgeous finished gardens, but also all of the steps along the way.
