About this item
by Reginald Arkell (Author)
Old Herbaceous, a classic British novel of the garden, recounts the transformation of Bert Pinnegar from orphan child into "Old Herbaceous," the legendary head gardener of an English manor house. Esteemed as the county's top flower-show judge and hailed as a horticultural genius, Pinnegar's reserved demeanor and eccentricities only add to his legendary status. His neighbors misunderstand his tendency to bluster as haughtiness, but "so long as he stuck to his gardens he was as right as rain." This witty, gently comedic portrait of an endearing and unforgettable character provides a delightful reading experience-and a few gardening tips along the way. This Warbler Classics edition features twelve wood engravings from Illustrations of the British Flora (1865) by W. H. Fitch and W. G. Smith.
