Heligan Harvest is the culmination of two years work. Developed from an initial idea that it would be wonderful to record the productive gardens through the year. This book is the result of close collaboration between Sue Lewington, the artist, the publishers and Candy Smit of Heligan.  Without the wholehearted support of the Heligan team and in particular the gardeners Sue would have been unable to create this vivid and intimate portrait of the gardens.

From January through to December we can follow the never-ending cycle of sowing growing and harvesting and the endless round of weeding digging and cultivation.  This is a book that will inspire all gardeners and be a fitting memento of these amazing gardens.Fully illustrated.

This is a very "hands on" guide that really does inspire confidence.

Tim Smit in his foreword writes that previously "there was nothing that could get you started, that captured the simple pleasure of trying things out. It is filled with sensible tips on how to make these exotic treasures thrive...but now there is. This is a wonderful book with excellent illustrations and, what is more, it is well written. Tim and David have done a 'proper job' as they say in these parts. I've had the pleasure of knowing Tim for some ten years and can honestly say that he has forgotten more about these plants than most people will ever know. To journey with the authors on this practical odyssey is both hugely informative and gives even the least green-fingered among us a sense of hope that this time..."
