Jane McMorland Hunter writes books on the good things in life; gardening, cookery and needlecraft. She lives in London and has a tiny garden, which inspired her book of the same name. Her latest book, For the Love of an Orchard shows that space need not be a bar to realising your horticultural fantasies. She is now writing a series for the National Trust, a dream come true as it involves visiting inspiring gardens, growing her own fruit and vegetables (in the tiny garden) and testing delicious recipes. After studying History at Edinburgh University and Ceramics at Goldsmith’s College, London, Jane went to work in the Cookery and Gardening department at Hatchards Bookshop in London, working at the Chelsea and Hampton Court Palace Flower Shows each year. She now works part time at the Slightly Foxed book shop and as a jobbing gardener. 
Whether you fantasise about having a whole orchard, just a cherry tree in a pot, or even the perfect apple pie, this beautifully illustrated book bridges the gap between the special place orchards hold in our hearts and the practicalities of growing and cooking orchard fruit. This book explores the traditions of fruit growing and the story of individual fruits, as well as providing delicious recipes and cultivation advice. As interest grows in sustainability, the preserving of heritage varieties and in organic produce, this book is a timely celebration of tree fruit and its enjoyment.
