Covering the period 1946-50, In Your Garden is the first volume in a series of four anthologies of V. Sackville-West's articles, which are arranged according to the month in which they were published. Also included are two longer essays by V. Sackville-West, describing a rare seventeenth-century gardening manual and the garden at Hidcote Manor, together with an extract from her 1937 book Some Flowers, which contains vignette descriptions of her favourites.
