    The story of how Francis Pryor created a haven for people, plants and wildlife in a remote corner of the fens. 
     
    A Fenland Garden is the story of the creation of a garden in a complex and fragile English landscape - the Fens of southern Lincolnshire - by a writer who has a very particular relationship with landscape and the soil, thanks to his distinguished career as an archaeologist and discoverer of some of England's earliest field systems. It describes the imagining, planning and building of a garden in an unfamiliar and sometimes hostile place, and the challenges, setbacks and joys these processes entail. This is a narrative of the making of a garden, but it is also about reclaiming a patch of ground for nature and wildlife - of repairing the damage done to a small slice of Fenland landscape by decades of intensive farming. 
     
    A Fenland Garden is informed by the empirical wisdom of a practising gardener (and archaeologist) and by his deep understanding of the soil, landscape and weather of the region; Francis's account of the development of the garden is counterpointed by fascinating nuggets of Fenland lore and history, as well as by vignettes of the plantsman's trials and tribulations as he works an exceptionally demanding plot of land.

    There’s something uniquely satisfying about stepping outside your door and clipping a sprig of fresh rosemary for your roasted potatoes or plucking a handful of mint to stir into a summer drink. Herb gardening is one of the most rewarding ways to connect with nature, flavor your meals, and surround yourself with scents that calm the mind and uplift the spirit. Whether you're working with a sprawling backyard or a sunny windowsill, growing herbs is an accessible, enriching hobby that brings beauty, flavor, and even wellness into your daily life. 
    This book was written with both beginners and aspiring green thumbs in mind—people who want to grow herbs but aren’t quite sure where to begin. Maybe you’ve tried to keep a basil plant alive on your kitchen counter and it didn’t last the week. Or perhaps you’re dreaming of a lush herb spiral filled with lavender, oregano, and thyme. No matter where you're starting from, this guide will walk you through every step with clarity, encouragement, and practical advice. 
    Herbs are among the easiest plants to grow, yet their uses are incredibly diverse. They elevate meals, support natural remedies, perfume the home, attract pollinators, and even deter garden pests. What’s more, they ask for very little in return—a bit of sunlight, well-drained soil, and the occasional trim. With a little knowledge and care, your herb garden can flourish indoors or out, in containers or raised beds, on a balcony or backyard plot.

    Are you getting enough? Bestselling travel writer Ben Aitken wasn't.
    
    
    Increasingly flat and decreasingly zen, Ben gave boredom the boot and stress the cold shoulder by embarking on a whimsical journey into the serious business of having a laugh.
    
    
    He did a pilgrimage in Spain, a summer camp in Kent, and a cruise of the Baltic with 2,000 grannies. And when he wasn't on the road, he searched for merriment at home: by giving bridge a go, volunteering a chance, and gardening a crack of the whip.
    
    
    By incorporating the thoughts of key thinkers and boffins, Here Comes the Fun offers a satisfying balance of the playful and the profound, the serious and the silly, the daft and the deep.
