As I already have a copy of her 'The Cutting Garden' I think that I will now leave it at that. I may well be tempted by the Caroline Foley book though :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-21788234455599322512014-09-01T10:09:33.305+01:002014-09-01T10:09:33.305+01:00Hi Pianolearner - I reviewed Louise's book ear...Hi Pianolearner - I reviewed Louise's book earlier this year. It's a great book :)<br />I also asked myself which book I would choose and I have to say there's room for both on my bookshelf. Louise's book helps those of us without the luxury of Perch Hill, but there's quite a lot of difference in the selection of flowers and foliage to use and their styling in the 2 volumes which are valuable to all readers.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-64330086435638805382014-08-31T23:42:16.878+01:002014-08-31T23:42:16.878+01:00Not many people have the acres of Sarah Raven.

It will come as no surprise to you that I think The Cut Flower Patch by Louise Curley (also published by Frances Lincoln) is a better book for most people's plots. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-78375877572035295462014-08-31T19:06:28.986+01:002014-08-31T19:06:28.986+01:00I was delighted to be offered this book Cj as it&#...I was delighted to be offered this book Cj as it's an aspect of history which fascinates me. I was also interested in how Caroline Foley would deal with a quite different book to her hugely popular and practical allotment volumes.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-18361582775568137132014-08-31T19:04:12.780+01:002014-08-31T19:04:12.780+01:00It would be interesting to compare our books Caro,...It would be interesting to compare our books Caro, to see how they differ and which one works better.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-1822422306559249422014-08-31T18:23:02.636+01:002014-08-31T18:23:02.636+01:00The allotment history book sounds fantastic, I'...The allotment history book sounds fantastic, I'd love to read about how it all began and how people relied on their plots of land.

I really like the sound of the allotment history book; history was a dry subject for me as well but I like it when I'm show how history shaped us in daily life. This one sounds good and I'll look out for it. Thanks for an excellent review.Carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.com
