In this intimate new volume, he finally finds a cottage in the Cotswolds ready for bold reinvention. What follows is the story of a new beginning: reimagining boundaries and axes, planting hedges and perennials, experimenting with structure and softness, and discovering, season by season, what thrives, what falters and what surprises.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWritten in diary form, the book captures the daily rhythms of building a garden from scratch. Bangay reflects on the differences between English and Australian light, soil and climate; the discipline of working within centuries-old traditions; and the joy of watching a place evolve. Alongside the garden transformation runs the renovation of the cottage itself and the gradual process of becoming part of village life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRich with observation, wit and practical insight, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Diary of an English Garden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a lyrical homage to England's gardening heritage.
