The barn garden by Tom and Sue Stuart-Smith

The Barn Garden is charming memoir, written about the creation of a garden that has been formed with the help of Tom's parents, his family and friends. If nothing else it should encourage its readers to document their own progress with their gardens, and make their own scrapbooks - however modest the endeavour. Apart from being a wonderful documentary record of the garden, the book contains fabulous photographs the garden in all seasons by Andrew Lawson and Marianne Majerus, and the text gives a fascinating insight into Tom's ideas about design and the way he combines plants.

Its an easy and inspiring read, written by a designer at the top of his game.

All the profits from the book go to charity.
