| Zusammenfassung: | "From 1946 to 1957, Vita Sackville-West, the British poet, bestselling author of All Passion Spent and maker of Sissinghurst, wrote a weekly column in the Observer depicting her life at Sissinghurst, showing her to be one of the most visionary horticulturalists of the twentieth-century. With wonderful additions by Sarah Raven, a famous British gardener in her own right who is married to Vita's grandson Adam Nicolson, Sissinghurst draws on this extraordinary archive, revealing Vita's most loved flowers, as well as offering practical advice for gardeners. Often funny and completely accessibly written with color and originality, it also describes details of the trials and tribulations of crafting a place of beauty and elegance. Sissinghurst has gone on to become one of the most visited and inspirational gardens in the world and this marvellous book, illustrated with drawings and original photographs throughout, shows us how it was created and how gardeners everywhere can use some of the ideas from both Sarah Raven and Vita Sackville-West. Sissinghurst is a magnificent portrait of a garden and a family"-- |

C~Sissinghurst, discovered and transformed in the
1 930s by Vita Sackville-West and Harold
Nlicolson, is one of the most inspirational gardens
in the world. It remains renowned for Harold
Nicolson’s architectural design and the vibrant,
romantic planting by Vita Sackville-West. Every
year it is visited by over 1 50,000 people.
From 1 946 to 1 957, Vita Sackville-West wrote
a weekly column for the Observer about her
gardening ideas, drawing on her experiments and
experiences at Sissinghurst. Now Sarah Raven, who
is married to Vita’s grandson Adam Nicolson, takes
Vita’s writings and adds her own, to tell us the
story of this wonderful garden.
This delightful book, illustrated with over 1 50
black-and-white photos and twenty-four pages of
colour — many never seen before — describes the
vision and the craft that has made Sissinghurst a
place of vitality and beauty.
Vita Sackville-West’s feeling for colour and texture,
her belief that gardens can be places of excitement
and calm, her knowledge of exotic species and her
appreciation of the ordinary, everyday plants are
still of great interest and relevance today. She loved
daisies, cobnuts, the wildflower seedlings that
suddenly appeared in flowerbeds. Her favourite
roses could ‘sweep me quite unexpectedly back to
those dusky mysterious hours in an Oriental
storehouse, where the rugs and carpets of Isfahan
and Bokhara and Samarkand were unrolled in
their dim but sumptuous colouring and richness of
texture for our slow delight . . . Rich as a fig broken
open, soft as a ripened peach, flecked as an
apricot, coral as a pomegranate, bloomy as a
bunch of grapes.’
Everything you could wish to know about a
garden is here,
