She took up writing about gardening in order to finance the revamping of the building and garden. The one and a half acres of garden of this 300-year-old estate in Dorset was used as a nursery for her ideas on horticulture. In the beginning the garden was overgrown and the building dilapidated. It was here that she first planted tulips, and intrigued by their beauty, planted many thousands more.〔http://recreatingeden.com/index.php?pid=8&season=04&episode=46〕 ==Writing style== thumb In her 2010 book, ''The Curious Gardener'', Pavord, assembles a collection of articles from her newspaper column. Her use of grammar is deft and lucid, and her easy way with prose is not often encountered in other writers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anna Pavord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
