Pure Style in the Garden: Creating An Outdoor Haven

"With the health benefits of gardens and gardening becoming more widely accepted over the last troubled months, this is just the book for our time...she packs in information, with practical gardening tips such as hints on the thorny subject of rose pruning, imaginatively simple recipes for home-grown produce, and suggestions for home decorations that bring the outside indoors." -- Vanessa Berridge * The Garden * "A moment of joy in a difficult world." * The Blackberry Garden - blog * "A gorgeous celebration of gardening and growing. Jane Cumberbatch manages to convey the joy - the very essence - of gardening." * Reclaim magazine * "An evocative garden diary studded with nuggets of helpful information." * The English Garden * "Part diary, part notebook, part recipe book and part photo album, reading the four seasonal chapters is like going to stay with someone and gradually finding out the story of their garden and what makes it so special." * Waitrose Weekend * "The rich tapestry of garden journaling, horticultural advice, nature-inspired recipes and home-styling tips, illustrated with photographs and Jane's own paintings...will strike a chord with those of us who turned to gardening, journaling, art or cooking as therapy during uncertain times." * Gardens Illustrated * "A study in understated but elegant style." * The Gloss Magazine * "Muted colours, natural textures, and vintage touches have all been a part of interior designer Jane Cumberbatch's 'Pure Style' philosophy and in this book she addresses the outdoor spaces which are our retreats. Expect simple, stylish ideas on how to use plants and accessories to achieve 'Pure Style' and ultimately furnish a garden like a room. Whatever its size, a garden can be a source of visual and mindful pleasure all year round." -- Independent "I love books you can dip into over a cup of coffee and find a snippet of information or an idea and Pure Style in the Garden is just that...richly illustrated and very much a visual notebook with excellent photographs and the added bonus of Jane's own paintings." * Reckless Gardener * 'A book packed with inspiration - not just for the overall aesthetic and philosophy of gardening - it encourages you to pay more attention, to observe your ever-changing space and perhaps to create a scrapbook of your own.'
