The Gardener´s Year - Karel Čapek
The Gardeners Year is a charming and light-hearted insight into the life of an amateur gardener. Part of the Macmillan Collectors Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics with ribbon markers. Structured loosely around what to plant, grow or cultivate each month, Karel Capek takes us on a rollicking journey through a year in his own small garden.Complete and unabridged.
This edition features lively black and white illustrations by Czech artist Josef Capek and is translated by M. and R. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Weatherall.From making puddles with an untamable hose to sowing luxuriant weeds instead of grass, Capek reveals how a gardener grows into his surroundings spurred on by each new failure.
Subverting the tradition of a how to gardening book, he teaches his readers about the magic of seeds, the perils of planting vegetables and the thrilling surprises of a rock garden. As the year progresses and frail buds turn from flowering stems to drooping bulbs and falling leaves, Capeks small garden buzzes with life, wisdom and humour.
