A tour of some of the UK's most beguiling gardens in the counties
of Kent, Sussex and Surrey, the counties that exemplify 'the garden
of England'. In these three counties a wealth of history and
horticulture has combined with geography in the shape of rolling
landscapes, wooded valleys and meandering waterways, to provide an
attractive and fascinating collection. They are in villages and
towns, as well as in deep countryside, and all are privately owned.
Some have been in the possession of the same family for many
generations, while others have recently been transformed by new
owners. Some open for the National Garden Scheme, while others are
open privately and in some cases for just the occasional day for
charity. The stunning gardens explored in this visually rich guide
include: Arundel Castle, Denmans, Gravetye Manor, Munstead Wood and
Sussex Prairie Garden. The book also includes a gazetteer of other
important gardens in the area with location advice, to enable
readers to plan a more elaborate tour of this fertile garden area.
Filled with stunning, specially commissioned photographs by Clive
Boursnell, Secret Gardens of the South East is a unique guide that
opens the gates to the most intriguing gardens in this part of
England.
