About this product
Product Information
A stunning book full of inspiration, tips and advice. The Emma Bridgewater factory in Stoke-on-Trent is a mecca for lovers of her iconic pottery, but perhaps its most striking feature is the dazzling flower garden tucked away behind its walls. In this beautiful book, gardener Arthur Parkinson describes how he transformed the concrete yard into a thriving cut-flower garden and oasis for hens and chicks. Designed to not only provide flowers and inspiration for the design teams based at the factory, the garden also shows visitors some of the real-life flowers and wildlife behind the much-loved crockery. With tips on how to achieve the same results in container-planting in your own home, and helpful guides to keeping fowl, this book will delight gardeners and Bridgewater fans alike. AUTHOR: Arthur Parkinson trained at the Royal Botanical Gardens of Kew, before working for Sarah Raven at Perch Hill, East Sussex. He is now head gardener at the Emma Bridgewater Factory garden and has written for numerous special interest magazines. His work has been featured in The Guardian, Garden News, Gardenista and Staffordshire Life. 250 colour illustrationsProduct Identifiers
