description: A FLOWER FOR EVERY DAY, first published in the 1960's, is one of the late Margery Fish's most original works, offering four seasons of garden beauty. Based on the plantings in her magnificent garden at East Lambrook in Somerset, the book surveys the plants in flower month by month, and encourages gardeners to "let autumn join hands with spring." A FLOWER FOR EVERY DAY is a treasure house of ideas for prolonging and varying the planting season in all temperate climates. The deeply satisfying use of the garden as a changing, year-round spectacle may carry an even stronger messgae for contemporary gardeners than when the book was first published. Expert horticulturalist and author Graham Rice has reviewed Margery Fish's plant names and compiled a reference section at the back of the book from which to source the current botanical names mentioned in the next.
