Description

The jewel city gardens, palaces, planning and achievement its architecture, sculpture, symbolism and music 1915 [Hardcover] Jewel garden" is a phrase that seems to have entered into British lingo, and I find myself wondering if the Dons were following a trend toward bright, clashing flower colors in gardens or whether they actually helped create it. Monty Don is the lead presenter on the above-mentioned venerable TV show for gardeners, so I've seen the actual Jewel Garden any number of times--brilliant flowers, often on absolutely huge plants, set off by towering grasses, the whole thing entirely over the top and yet entirely satisfying even when the plants flop over into the paths as they frequently do by midsummer. This Book, it turns out, chosen for being about Gardening and having the word " Jewel " in the title - not the year to be given jewels that there is no where to wear them to... So a compromise, was a perfect choice! Homes Need Plantings as Jewels Need Settings Build a Garden Spot Around Your Home This Year Season of 1929'30 Classic Reprint

Summary

A great many middle aged folk will remember how Thatcher-ism ended badly, many more will remember how it was never much more than misery. Overwhelmingly honest, passionate, inspiring, with prose to die for. Like everything else Don does, this purports to be about gardens and gardening but is actually a meditation on family and love. ( Julie Myerson, Books of the Year, Independent on Sunday) He continued: “When you’re planting on the edge of a path or a lawn to soften, go right up to the edge. This book is a reflection on how the Jewel Garden, and the garden in which it is set (known as Longmeadow on the TV although I don't believe that's its actual name), came into being, after the Dons' original jewelry business failed and left them broke and jobless. A chance bequest gave them enough money to put down a deposit on a house, and being (evidently) considerable risk-takers they went for an ancient, unrenovated farmhouse and two acres of field, near a river that turned out to be rather good at flooding.
