A stunning book full of inspiration, tips and advice. The Emma Bridgewater factory in Stoke-on-Trent is a mecca for lovers of her iconic pottery, but perhaps its most striking feature is the dazzling flower garden tucked away behind its walls. In this beautiful book, gardener Arthur Parkinson describes how he transformed the concrete yard into a thriving cut-flower garden and oasis for hens and chicks. Designed to not only provide flowers and inspiration for the design teams based at the factory, the garden also shows visitors some of the real-life flowers and wildlife behind the much-loved crockery. With tips on how to achieve the same results in container-planting in your own home, and helpful guides to keeping fowl, this book will delight gardeners and Bridgewater fans alike.

He is now head gardener at the Emma Bridgewater Factory garden and has written for numerous special interest magazines.
