Making a Garden on a Greek Hillside (PBK)

Jaqueline Tyrwhitt - Harvard University professor, town planner of international renown and amateur botanist - chose to make a garden on a hillsides in Attica (Greece) . This book is the story of the making of that garden and a distillation of what she learnt and observed about the plants that grew there, a book which she wrote (to use her own words) 'to assist other people wishing to make gardens in places with a "Mediterranean climate", believing that anything that grew under the difficult conditions prevailing on this Greek hillside would be almost certain to grow better elsewhere.'
