Liberating Lawns by Rosemary Castle

88pp ISBN 0-9540432-0-0

'Lawns cover many thousands of acres of British gardens.  Although often dismissed as 'green deserts' compared to the flowery meadows lost to modern agriculture and development, they can easily be enriched yet still remain lawns.  This book takes an enthusiastic look at the humble plants that grow underfoot.  It considers their importance for wildlife and the more unusual forms of these plants that are noticed and perhaps treasured in cultivation.  Above all it describes a gentle, more flexible kind of gardening that is fascinating, liberating and fun.'

This softback book has an illustrated colour cover and is illustrated internally in black and white. Liberating Lawns was published by alternatives in April 2001 and is available to nursery customers at £6.50 including postage and packing.  The normal price is £8.00.
