This new book (Antique Collectors’ Club £25) uses the late Mary McMurtrie’s delicate flower paintings to illustrate a book about her gardening life. A contemporary of Margery Fish, like her, she preserved many flowers that might otherwise have been lost to cultivation after the Second World War. It would make a lovely present for a keen gardener.
