A comprehensive guide to the ancient skill of hedgelaying, essential for maintaining healthy, biodiverse hedgerows

Hedges are one of Great Britain’s most iconic landscape features. They are the stitching in the patchwork quilt of fields and meadows that defines the countryside. Hedgelaying first developed to form living stock-proof barriers, and has always been considered an art and a skill, taking something wild and unruly and giving it order, structure and perhaps even beauty. The book examines over 25 regional styles in England and Wales, introducing local experts who proudly explain their native style and offer a wealth of informed advice. It also includes:

The history of hedgelaying and its benefits
?When to lay a hedge and the tools you will need
A detailed step-by-step guide to laying a hedge
How to manage a hedge after laying
A guide to hedgerow species
With over 400 photographs and clear illustrations, it is ideal for newcomers and improvers alike, whilst also paying homage to the skilled hedgelayers of the past and present.
