Organic Gardening: The Whole Story

There is massive interest, both public and media, in organic gardening, it has never been more accessible with millions of people seeking to know more. In this book, the authors not only describe what organic gardening is, but how it developed for the ideas of those who were thought of as cranks back in the 1950's to what the RHS now describes as the 'major influence on 21st-century gardens and gardening'. The book is enlivened with tales of enthusiasts - from inner city dwellers, school children and allotment growers to well-known individuals such as Susan Hampshire and the Prince of Wales. There are also in-depth interviews with Raymond Blanc and Sophie Grigson and contributions from Monty Don and Alan Titchmarsh.
