Nicola Hadfield's beautiful outdoors

Plot

'How fair is a garden amid the trials and passions of existence.' What wise comment from Benjamin Disraeli. Our deep African skies, abundant sunshine and balmy climate lure us outdoors for much longer than the time devoted to indoor pursuits. Spending time in our own gardens or outdoor areas should be a singularly pleasurable pastime. Nicola Hadfield realises that harmoniously designed spaces do not have 'to be defined by four solid walls, and transforming the nooks and corners of a garden into places of beauty has moved way beyond the practical'. She has travelled the length and breadth of So.
