The Complete Brambly Hedge: The gorgeously illustrated children’s classics delighting kids and parents for over 40 years!

Product Information

The Brambly Hedge series, famed for its intricate illustrations, began with four books – Spring Story, Summer Story, Autumn Story and Winter Story – chronicling the lives and adventures of a community of mice who live in the idyllic spot the series is named for. I doubt there was a single invertebrate in our summer patch that didn’t have cells partly formed from bramble carbohydrates and proteins, and while I value our garden brambles for many reasons, I love them most for this indiscriminate summer-long generosity.

When I was a kid I used to live in Northern California in this super small town where there really wasn't much to do besides go to the movies and go to the library (or in the summer there was the swimming pool).

If your soil is exceptionally poor and dry, then digging in some well rotted manure and/or compost is worthwhile. Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. We think the plant's natural shape argues against planting the solid hedge as it will look more like a mounded bank which will be a very effective barrier but will look a bit curious if it is clipped.
