Description
My guest is Clare Foster, the Garden Editor at House & Garden magazine in the UK. Clare is the author of numerous books, including the gorgeous Winter Gardens with photographer Andrew Montgomery.
Clare’s writing is such a pleasure to read and she has brought me closer to some of my favorite plants and gardens. Join us to hear about Clare’s career as a garden writer and her development as a gardener, as well as some of the principles at play in her own garden, which is an inspiring example of low(ish) input, high reward design from a gardener who has access to some of the most beautiful spaces and guides in the world.
** The first printing of Winter Gardens sold out quickly and a reprint has been ordered, which Clare and Andrew hope to make available by late summer. You can find links in the show notes to follow them for ordering information.**
