A Year Full of Flowers reveals the hundreds of hardworking varieties that make the garden sing each month, together with the practical tasks that ensure everything is planted, staked and pruned at just the right time.

Sharing the lessons learned from years of plant trials, she explains the methods that have worked for her, and shows you how to achieve a space that's full of life and colour. Discover long-lasting, divinely scented tulips, roses that keep flowering through winter, the most magnificent dahlias and show-stopping alliums, as well as how to grow sweet peas up a teepee, take cuttings from chrysanthemums and stop mildew in its tracks. This is passionate, life-enriching gardening; it's also simple, adaptable and can work for you. Sarah has made the garden central to her life – this book shows you how you can too.

Excerpt from The Seasons in a Flower Garden a Handbook of Information and Instruction for the Amateur These pages are for the most part a condensed record of flower-time - just a little garden wisdom, which may guide others who, unaided by an "experienced man," do give love-labor to the "green things growing." They are especially prepared for those who have small gardens where space must be economized in order to welcome the variety of posies that are the hearts desire. After some short directions on Plans, Planting, and Soil, the book is arranged in the order of months, beginning with September, for reasons explained later, and giving under each month a few introductory suggestions and a list of its flowering plants, together with practical hints for garden work during that month. After November winter intervenes, and the record begins again with March. After a little study it should not be too difficult, I hope, for any one to select suitable plants and arrange them in such a way as to make even a small garden show well during the whole season of flowers. If the eye is trained in the harmony of colors, no fairer castle in the air can be imagined than a garden in its proper color-blending, abloom in every section all through the summer. The setting of plants with regard to height as well as to color adds to the intricacies of this fascinating scheming, which will bring a summer morning into the dreariest of winter days - the time for sketching plans for outdoor planting.

Michael Garland (Daddy Played the Blues) displays his impressive illustration range with the stylized, country-quilt, digital collage illustrations of A Season of Flowers. Snowdrops and crocuses yield to tulips and hyacinths, then dogwood blossoms, iris, lupine, daisies, morning glories, daylilies, geraniums, peonies, sunflowers, roses, and chrysanthemums as spring passes to summer, then autumn. At last the garden slumbers into winter under a blanket of snow, preparing next year’s procession of blooms. Like actors crossing a stage, flowers narrate the passing seasons in the first person, each one briefly proclaiming its unique and vital role in the natural world. Backmatter descriptions complete this child’s introduction to a garden year, in which the passage of time is vividly realized. Fountas & Pinnell Level L
