Anna Pavord is the gardening correspondent for the Independent, and the author of widely praised gardening books ... . As well as writing for the Observer for twenty years, she has contributed to Country Life, Country Living, and Elle Decoration, and is an associate editor of Gardens Illustrated. She lives in Dorset, England, in an old Rectory with a large garden that she has been developing for twenty years.
