Here is the second of this month’s book giveaways.
And what a smashing book it is too. I would have nabbed a copy for review if I had the time to write one and my gardening book-shelves weren’t already overspilling. ‘The Splendour of the Tree‘ was published two days ago by Frances Lincoln at £25.00. This is what they have to say about it:
Written by Dr. Noel Kingsbury – a world-class expert on plants and the environment – ‘The Splendour of the Tree’ celebrates the wonder, mystery, beauty and utility of the tree. It pays homage to 100 key species of tree – chosen for their cultural, economic or historical significance and their importance in the natural world – and includes an indispensable cultivation section that advises on the care and selection of trees for the home garden. The lively text analyses the particular characteristics of each tree and the specific role that it plays within the ecosystem and human environment. Breathtaking, specially commissioned photography by Andrea Jones – one of the world’s foremost garden photographers – skillfully captures the nuances of every featured tree. From exquisite close-up detail shots to images of impeccable orchards in bloom, her photographs are both beautiful and informative.
If you’d like a chance to win a copy (and you have room on your shelves), here’s all you need to do:
leave a comment below saying that you wish to enter
and
(if you don’t do so already) follow ‘The Anxious Gardener’ blog, follow me on Twitter or like The Anxious Gardener Facebook page. All three follow buttons are top right of this page. (You can also enter by just following me on twitter and re-tweeting this post).
The closing date is midnight on 29th September 2014.
I’ll draw a name from my hat, notify the winner by email and add the result to the bottom of this post. I’m afraid you must have a UK postal address to enter … or the use of one. (The book can only be posted within the UK).
Good luck!
oooOOOooo
