Gardening at Sissinghurst describes in wonderful detail the almost mythic garden created by Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicholson. Tony Lord discusses the design, development, planting, and maintenance of Sissinghurst's famous garden rooms.

Many people have made the pilgrimmage to Sissinghurst at one time or another. Others have visited it in books. Gardening at Sissinghurst embraces the best of both and describes the garden, its roses, how they are grown as well as how they are cared for and as such is an excellent book for rosarians everywhere.
