A Year in Christine's Garden: The Secret Diary of a Garden Lover

In both her TV series and in this month-by-month diary, Christine takes readers and viewers on a charming journey through life, the universe, and most importantly gardening. Recounting the tales of the people she meets, her octogenarian neighbors, the trips she goes on—usually accompanied by her black labrador, Marsie—and a second invasion by a BBC TV crew, the book paints a picture of her life as a gardener, interwoven with lots of practical advice and tips for the reader. With her no-nonsense ways and her down-to-earth approach (she does not do flouncy), readers will be charmed by Christine's enthusiasm and her irrepressible passion for gardening.
