About this product

Product Information

Visiting gardens has never been more popular but not many of us understand what we are looking at when strolling through a beautiful garden - are we looking at an original landscaped site or a recreation? Is the planting matter authentic or made up of modern hybrids? Are the steps and terracing in the Italianate style or are they Arts and Crafts? The truth is that most gardens of any age are like a palimpsest: successive generations have changed and influenced the soft and hard fabric of the place over time. Inevitably many of the gardens we wander through today are an amalgam of changing fashions and circumstance. How to Read Gardens provides the reader with all the knowledge he or she needs to tease out the clues that will tell the complete story of a garden's past. From the grandest estate to the smallest suburban plot, this book will enliven and inform every visit.

A Must For Any Serial Garden Visitor
I consider myself a bit of seasoned garden visitor these days but since I bought this book my experiences of my visits has moved onto another level of understanding. It is split up into excellent small page by page sections (with diagrams and pictures) explaining everything you could wish to know about every garden feature from knots to follies. This book is a must for any serial garden visitor.
