This
text is part of a series of books for the keen walker. Kent, known
as "the garden of England", is a mixture of countryside, historic
towns and coastal areas. There should be walks to appeal to all tastes,
from Gravesend to the historic city of Canterbury, from Sheerness
via Dover to Hythe on the coast, and from the countryside around Sevenoaks
to the Romney Marsh. |

This
book has historical information about cherry growing, and in particular
about Kent. In the UK, Kent is the heart of cherry growing, and we
learn about how cherries were introduced, the native varieties and
how they got here, and then about cherry picking in general. It's
full of anecdotes from the author, as well as serious information
about cherry-based agriculture in general. All-in-all, this is a fascinating
book, and a little sad, since uk cherries are now so difficult to
find outside of Kent or London. I only wish the supermarkets would
get wise, and stock the many interesting varieties grown in the UK.
