A companion to The RHS Treasury of Garden Verse, this anthology presents a selection of garden writing spanning the globe and the centuries. Writers from Francis Bacon to Thoreau have been inspired by gardens and gardening, and here there is something for everyone: classic pieces and perennial favorites, and some surprising finds.

Presented in a slipcase, these two literary anthologies are illustrated with botanical prints and engravings from the remarkable collection of the Royal Horticultural Society's Lindley Library.The Treasury of Garden Verse celebrates the garden through poetry that spans the centuries and the globe, including contributions from Dorothy Parker, Sylvia Plath and John Agard. The Treasury of Garden Writing captures the same spirit through prose from Jane Austen and Gustave Flaubert to Beth Chatto.
