And yet these formed a crucial part of the work of the influential midcentury figure Brenda Colvin. Garden writer George Plumptre joins Jane Perrone to discuss the legacy of this groundbreaking woman, including her inspirational book titled Land and Landscape. You can read George's article about Brenda Colvin on Scribehound Gardening here.
