Margery Fish
A Flower for Every Day

One of Britain’s most beloved gardening writers encourages American gardeners to “let autumn join hands with spring” in this fruitful guide to each month’s flowering plants.

The author of the classic gardening memoir, We Made a Garden, now turns her attention to year-round flowering color for your garden. This intensely satisfying use of the garden as a changing, year-round spectacle is based on the magnificent cottage gardens at East Lambrook Manor in Somerset that Margery Fish and her husband cultivated, pruned and watered to the delight of American gardening enthusiasts today. A Flower for Every Day is a treasure house of ideas for prolonging and varying the planting season in all temperate climates.

A reader of another of Margery Fish’s classics said, “Reading this book is like sitting with a favorite Aunt discussing gardening. Her descriptions of flowers are at times hilarious and always filled with useful information. She lists a lot of the ‘old’ flowers. The ones to watch for and beg from any gardener who might be willing to part with them.”

The late Margery Fish is one of England’s most beloved gardening writers. She is the author of numerous gardening classics, including Gardening in the Shade, Carefree Gardening, An All-Year-Round Garden , Cottage Garden Flowers, and We Made a Garden. Her books remain as relevant to gardeners today as they were when first published in the 1950s and 1960s.
