This is an excursion through the English countryside in summer, from small cottage lots where old-fashioned flowers live in clever harmony with vegetables and fruit, to the more spacious gardens of the manor house and the rectory, where collections of plants are carefully arranged to cerate a personal vision of Eden. Arranged in three chapters, Early, Mid and Late Summer, this book divides the weeks of summer into a gardener's chronicle and follows the flowering season through English gardens from Cornwall to Kent.
The authors escort us on a tour of the gardens, with their established blend of stunning photographs and informative and entertaining texts.
