[Cecil Beaton. C. Z. Guest.]

C.Z. Guest offers advice for the amateur creating their 'First Garden'. Taking inspiration from her own garden on Long Island and her garden columns for several publications, she explores planting, cut flowers, growing vegetables and fruits, maintaining lawns and looking after orchids. The text is enlivened by Cecil Beaton's delicate line drawings of plants and flowers, and this revised edition is given new colour photographs.
