Sowing Beauty - Desiging Flowering Meadows From Seed

Sowing Beauty demonstrates how to recreate Hitchmough's masterful, romantic style. The reader will learn how to design and sow seed mixes that include a range of plants, both native and exotic, and how to maintain the sown spaces over time. Colour photographs show not only the gorgeous finished gardens, but also all the steps along the way. Using a distinct technique of sowing meadows from seed, he creates plant communities that mimic the dramatic beauty of natural meadows and offer a succession of blooms over many months - a technique that can be adapted to work in both large-scale public gardens and smaller residential gardens.
