The Garden Collection

Perfect for the green-fingered book lover, The Little Toller Garden Collection brings together three books to enhance any gardener’s enjoyment of their plot, at a special  price and with free UK postage.

The Wild Garden is a book decades ahead of its time. First published in 1870, William Robinson passionately advocated for a less formal style of gardening, rejecting Victorian ideas of symmetry in favour of wildflowers and self-seeding perennials.

Fiona Davison’s highly praised An Almost Impossible Thing explores the radical lives of six pioneering women gardeners in the years before the outbreak of the First World War, telling the stories of how they overcame derision and and prejudice to become professional gardeners.

The Allotment tells the story of the history of allotments, from their beginnings in the 17th century, as a way of protecting the poor from the effects of the Enclosure Acts to now, when allotments are valuable sanctuaries, both individual and collective.
