Pattie Barron is a gardening journalist and author. She has a weekly column in the London Evening Standard and is the gardening editor for Good Housekeeping magazine. She has successfully created Mediterranean-style gardens on the frosty slope in the city of Bath and in the dry soil of a windswept coastal town, proving that these hardy plants work in all kinds of environment as well as in the sunny Mediterranean. She is currently creating her third Mediterranean garden, on the southern coast of England. Includes a foreword by writer and naturalist Richard Mabey, and photographs by Simon McBride.
