Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This beautiful and richly-illustrated book tells you everything you need to know about the latest developments in the world of the English garden.
Join leading garden writer Tim Richardson as he visits twenty-five significant English gardens made or remade over the past decade, in this comprehensive overview of the contemporary English garden scene , probably the most inventive garden culture in the world.
From the cutting-edge naturalistic planting design of the Sheffield School to the scientific imagery of Througham Court, this stunning guide surveys a wide spectrum of garden styles ; some are challenging or thought-provoking, while others reflect the sensuously romantic tradition of English planting design , which has also been moving ahead in interesting ways.
The New English Garden presents all that is most interesting about garden-making in England in the twenty-first century, beautifully illustrated by Andrew Lawson's photography of some of England's most famous gardens, from Prince Charles's garden at Highgrove , Christopher Llyod's garden at Great Dixter and Arabella Lennox-Boyd's garden at Gresgarth right up to the Olympic Park in 2012.
