The Book

Lighthearted and fun, filled with history, folklore, and even the odd recipe, this book will appeal to both gardeners and non-gardeners. This quirky, occasionally irreverent perspective—based on visits, interviews and filming over an 18-month period—provides a unique, visually stunning introduction to sixteen of the most beautiful gardens across the South West.

Above all, it is a genuine call to get outside and celebrate the natural environment that we, as humans, help to create, nurture and cherish—to uncover the living heart of a garden.
 

“A really fresh look at gardens to visit, a good
balance of facts and fun with plenty of
                      inspiring photographs in between.”          

Liz Dobbs – Editor of ‘Gardens Monthly’
