Frances Fry Frances Fry was a leading wildlife artist and illustrator, well known for her work published as greetings cards (Medici Society) and calendars. She also wrote and illustrated The Colour Guide to British Birds and Their Eggs (Nimrod Press, 1990), and provided illustrations for Cyril Roger's The World of Zebra Finches (Nimrod Press, 1986), Watmough's The Cult of the Budgerigar (Triplegate, 1983), Frank Finn's Fancy Waterfoul (Nimrod Press, 1985). Additionally she wrote various articles on nature and animals as well as the Country Diary column for The West Somerset Gazette. She lived in the West Country and was fond of rambling across the wild and beautiful countryside of Exmoor which provided boundless inspiration for her paintings. A keen animal lover and conservationist, she had a wildlife orientated garden long before such things became fashionable, because there was never enough time to keep it neat and tidy. Despite this admission she listed gardening as one of her hobbies, together with photography and listening to classical music. For her, bird and animal watching proved work and pleasure combined.

Square foot gardening Square foot gardening is the practice of dividing the growing area into small square sections (typically 12" on a side, hence the name). The aim is to assist the planning and creating of a small but intensively planted vegetable garden. It results in a simple and orderly gardening system, from which it draws much of its appeal. Mel Bartholomew coined the term "square foot gardening" in his 1981 book of the same name.
