For centuries, the art of garden design has been a significant part of English culture. Nowhere else in the world do people love their gardens and the public parks of their country as passionately. In this volume, garden expert Helena Attlee presents the twenty most remarkable gardens in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Readers will encounter, among others, the baroque terraced garden of Powis Castle, the English landscape garden of Stourhead, the contemporary garden of Alnwick Castle in Northumberland, and the world's largest botanical research center, Kew Gardens. Alex Ramsay's outstanding photographs bring the unique features of the gardens to life and invite readers to explore the island of blissful gardening delight.
