First published in 1976, Gardener's Folklore collects the scattered fragments of myth and magic to be found in the gardens of Britain and North America into a treasury for all to enjoy. Compiled from letters sent to the author Margaret Baker, it unravels and documents the mysterious sayings and scraps of knowledge that generations of growers swore by to create happy, healthy gardens.
Covering everything from planting by the moon to "leaving a tithe for nature," this new edition with illustrations from Rosanna Morris reveals the folklore secrets to green-fingered glory for 21st-century gardeners.
