The stories of their creation include obsession, escape, social ambition, political intrigue, heartbreak, bankruptcy and disaster and, in unravelling these remarkable stories, we reach back over the centuries to see these great gardens through fresh eyes. From the magnificent landscape garden at Stowe created by Bridgeman, Kent and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown; the Victorian masterpiece of Biddulph Grange; the romantic Arts & Crafts retreat at Nymans; and Christopher Lloyd’s plantsman’s paradise at Great Dixter, you will hear of adventure, innovation and visionary individuals who changed the way we create our gardens and the plants we grow. Author Katie Campbell weaves the stories of these four exemplary gardens into a history of British gardening from the earliest cultivated spaces to the present day, exploring trends, influences and pioneers. A brilliant combination of fascinating historic detail and atmospheric storytelling make this a compelling read and a must for anyone interested in gardening.
