Terrific double-episode. Thank You and thanks to David’s timely reference to My Garden I was able to purchase through that well-known auction site an issue that corresponds to my partner’s birth month/year. They will love it as a Christmas read, along with Hortis Revisited of course! Look forward to future episodes.

Hortus is a great size to read in the bath. My gardens do pretty much reflect my knicker draw. Hmmmm

Delighted to discover 'Hortus Revisited' and will track it down 😊 As mentioned in Part 1 postage to Australia is prohibitive but I have to say I do not like digital editions so not sure what the way forward will be; perhaps a new 'Hortus Revisited'?
