Samuel Felton set out to picture the writers who taught England to garden, pairing their portraits with brief lives and the books that made them. It is a gallery of the horticultural authors of an earlier age. A charming footnote to the history of the English garden. Meet the men who wrote the country into bloom.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
