Reply This book contains 10 crocheted collages, each providing 10 different motifs, all inspired in some way by my garden. They roughly follow the pattern of the seasons in my part of the world., and so also represent a year in my Yorkshire garden, from the first flowers in spring, through the frosty leaves of winter. You may recognise some of the flowers and leaves as actual, real-life plant species, but many are imaginary, loosely based on shapes or colours found in my garden, but are not intentded to be botanically accurate representations of particular plants.
