Gardening on the Edge: Drawing on the Cornwall Experience
By Philip McMillan Browse, General Editor
ISBN: 0906720338 
CATEGORY: Gardening 
Ten respected and practising gardeners, and one of the world’s foremost evolutionary biologists write on their experiences of ‘gardening on the edge’ – at the edge of knowledge, and at the edge of the land.
Since the plant introductions of the nineteenth century, Cornwall has been at the forefront of the art and science of gardening – its gardens and gardeners famous world-wide. Gardening on the Edge continues this tradition: it describes a host of plants introduced since the mid-twentieth century – all particularly suited to western seaboard gardens and mild, temperate climates.

Heligan: Fruit, Flowers and Herbs
By Philip McMillan Browse
ISBN: 0906720400 
CATEGORY: Gardening 
Heligan: Fruit, Flowers and Herbs celebrates the abundance of the award-winning productive gardens at the Lost Gardens of Heligan. With derelict structures restored to working order, the range of traditional crops now cultivated and harvested by hand is beginning to reflect the output of the gardens in their late Victorian heyday.
This book tells the stories of reconstruction behind increasingly well-known features – the beautiful apple arches in the Vegetable Garden, the unique pineapple pit in the Melon Yard and the historically significant Paxton House in the Flower Garden.
