A beautiful tour of Britain’s greatest gardens, classic and modern. Inspiration and escapism for every gardener.
A unique tour of thirty of Britain's most beautiful gardens, classic and modern. A great gift for gardeners on their days off or during the long winter nights – because gardening is as much about dreaming as doing.
Packed with photographs, many specially commissioned, and evocative and entertaining text telling the stories of the gardens and the people who created them.
The gardens range from legendary romantic gardens like Sissinghurst and Great Dixter to dramatic locations like Bodnant and Overbecks. There are intimate, historic walled gardens too, as well as gardens that point to the future, like Wildside, which works in harmony with nature. The book includes information on visiting all the gardens, and suggestions for the best times of year.
