Description
Ben Dark's beautifully observed book, The Grove: A Nature Odyssey in 19 1⁄2 Front Gardens, tells the stories of 20 key plants growing in a single London street's front gardens in a way that's as engaging as it is informative.
Each tree or flower tells a tale, speaking of war and poetry, of money, fashion, love and failure. Any walk is an odyssey when we connect with the plants around us, and Dark's book is a wonderful exploration of this connection.
With a focus on the people and history, as well as the plants, that fill these everyday gardens, Dark reveals the drama, humor and history from even the most commonplace plants.
