The Twilight Gardener

Full of planting ideas for evening fragrance and maintenance advice for structuring colour, lighting, design, and even attracting wildlife, this is a book that will inspire everyone to transform their outdoor space into a twilight paradise.

Some say that the twilight hours are the best time to enjoy a garden; a time when the spirit of the place really comes alive. It is also the time when many people pass front gardens on their return home, have a few spare minutes for garden maintenance, or want to enjoy the garden for entertaining.

This revised and updated edition of The Twilight Garden includes garden advice for front gardens, terraces, larger plots and container gardens, so you can be inspired to transform your outdoor space into a twilight paradise.
