“I loved this. It's subtitled ‘a sketchbook from the wilder side of the garden’ It's the very best in observation and his observations are pithy and succinct. “There is nothing twee about this book. It is earthy through and through. You can feel the garden, the weather, watch the wildlife and smell the seasons through its pages.” . . . More Liz Wright, Smallholder ‘Richard Bell could be another David Attenborough,’ wrote Terry Fletcher in the Dalesman, ‘with his tales of astonishing plants and carefully observed wildlife – except that he never gets beyond his own garden fence.’ The Sunday Times included Rough Patch in a Christmas round-up of last year’s best gardening books, describing it as ‘a charming little stocking-filler’ with ‘well-observed watercolours of plants and bird and pond life through the year.’ Country Smallholding magazine describes the book as ‘. . full of lively incidents and observations, not to mention a couple of poems, recipes and children’s drawings. We meet all kinds of creatures from the garden, from moths to bats, bees to newts, and even look up at the stars.’
