The Allways Chronicles
(Glatton Trilogy)
Down the Garden Path 1932
The story of the restoration of a neglected cottage garden to the idyllic state of the author’s memory. Nichols undertakes the long process of restoring and designing the garden at Allways, Huntingdonshire as a self-confessed amateur with little or no knowledge of horticulturalism, having been seduced by the vibrant illustrations of bulb catalogues and the hazy ideal of the cottage garden.
