A glorious celebration, this landmark book is an exploration of the greatest gardens, parks and landscapes in Britain, with stunning photography accompanied by insightful text from leading garden historians and conservators. It is lovingly curated by The Gardens Trust, a prominent UK conservation charity dedicated to preserving, studying and spotlighting historic gardens.

Arranged chronologically, it covers around 60 individual gardens, specially selected to give a broad historical overview of British garden design from the Early Modern Period up until the Millennium. Each chapter also includes an intruiging essay, exploring the wider changes in social context, taste and style in each period.

Entries include:• Elizabethan splendour at Kenilworth Castle.

• Spectacular landscapes by Capability Brown at Alnwick Castle and Chatsworth.

• Birkenhead Park, the Victorian inspiration for New York’s Central Park.

• The classic cottage garden created by Margery Fish at East Lambrook, Somerset.

• Ian Hamilton Finlay’s modern Scottish masterpiece, Little Sparta.

Go on a voyage of garden discovery with this beautiful book, and learn more about the gardens and landscapes that are a much-loved part of our shared national story.
