Diary of a Keen Gardener by Mary Keen

A year in the garden with one of England's most respected horticulturists. Mary Keen's intimate diary moves through the seasons of her beloved Cotswold garden and allotment, weaving practical wisdom, plant knowledge, and the small joys of everyday gardening with reflections on family, friends, and the natural world.

Beginning in November—the gardener's quietest month—and returning full circle, this is a deeply personal account of how nurturing plants reshapes our sense of time and connection. Part garden chronicle, part life philosophy, it's essential reading for anyone who gardens or simply loves to learn from keen observation and curiosity.
