About this product

Product Information

Sir Roy Strong calls Little Sparta the only really original garden made in this country since 1945 . Ian Hamilton Finlay's unique creation in the Pentland Hills south of Edinburgh is a garden composed as an artwork in itself. It incorporates concrete poetry, moral polemic, philosophical reflection and a sparkling sense of humour. While Finlay's works and installations throughout Europe and North America are well documented and justly famous, this is the first book devoted solely to the garden at Little Sparta, which has been at the heart of his life's work. It offers readers a sense of the diversity and originality of the garden along with a text that unfolds the layers of meaning it contains.

Thank You Allan Beswick for the Recommendation.
I first heard about this place from Allan Beswick BBC Radio Manchester as he had to go there with his wife. His account of the place inspired me to buy the book. Oddly enough as it is quite a large book I use it most days for leaning on when filling out forms, signing letters or com pleating a V5C. The book itself certainly inspires a visit to the garden and it gives gardeners like me creative idea's of how best to combine art and sculpture with gardening.
