Hortus Revisited

A Twenty-first Birthday Anthology
edited by David Wheeler

Founding editor David Wheeler offers a richly diverse selection from the original garden writings published by the quarterly periodical Hortus over the last twenty-one years. The informative, witty, and refreshingly unpredictable articles explore such topics as scent, color, plant-breeding and plant-hunting, and explorations of little and well-known gardens in Britain and overseas. Contributors include Beth Chatto, Andrew Lawson, Stephen Lacey, Richard Mabey, Anne Powell, and many others.

“Some of the best garden writing you could find anywhere.” –Anna Pavord, The Independent

“What a relief to read lean, sturdy sentences . . . to see gardening as part of civilization, bound up in commerce, science, art and literature.” –The New York Times
