Global Love Affair - The Story of Henstead Exotic Garden and other tales.
So much has happened during the making of this garden, so many questions have been asked by members of the public.....
It started as a handout on the open days and grew and grew.....
The book tells:
The story of the garden
The characters met/disasters along the way/great times along the way/fall outs/friendships
Lots of tips re the construction of the garden
Stories of where the plants were sourced/adventures to odd little nurseries
Microclimates and tips on why plants are planted in certain parts of the garden
Weather and how it effects the garden - plenty on this subject as it becomes very important when you are mad enough to have an exotic garden on the East Coast of England
Stories of being in pop/rock bands in London in the 1980's and being a session guitarist in London studios also during these times.
A whole book could easily be written on these times alone, I am lucky to still be alive really!!
General words of wisdom aka rants about all and sundry, from Barrett estates to the Youff of today!!!
Price of this extravaganza, only £7.99 plus postage.
Please remember that this book is only available via this website or from the garden.
