Beth Chatto’’s Green Tapestry Revisited: A Guide to a Sustainably Planted Garden

Beth Chatto (1923-2018) was the most influential British plantswoman of the past hundred years. She was the inspiration behind the ’right plant, right place’ ethos that lies at the heart of sustainable gardening. She wrote some of the best-loved gardening books of the twentieth-century, among them The Dry Garden, The Damp Garden, and Beth Chatto’s Gravel Garden. She was created OBE in 2002 and also held the Royal Horticultural Society’s Victoria Medal of Honour.
