This is the first book on the work of one of today's most
celebrated and sought-after garden designers. Arne Maynard is known
for his award-winning gardens at the Royal Horticultural Society's
Chelsea Flower Show (2000, 2012) and for his beautiful and
sympathetic gardens for private houses across the world. Central to
his work as a designer is his ability to identify and draw out the
essence of a place, something that gives his gardens a particular
quality of harmony and belonging. Maynard is also a passionate
gardener himself, and is in the process of transforming the garden
around his house in Monmouthshire, Wales. This garden is one of
those featured in the book, offering unique insights into the work
in progress and his design methods. Also featured is Maynard's very
first garden of his own, at Guanock House in Norfolk, where over
ten years he created a formal layout - including a kitchen garden,
herbaceous borders and a knot garden - from a field. Each of the
twelve gardens is specially photographed and is described through
the seasons in personal text by Maynard himself, including details
of the brief and plant selection. The book also includes fully
illustrated features on various topics close to Maynard's heart,
such as growing and using roses, planting borders, creating
productive kitchen gardens, incorporating sculpture in the garden,
and training trees and shrubs. This beautiful book will appeal to
garden lovers everywhere, whether armchair gardeners keen to
explore the beautiful designs, or hands-on gardeners seeking
inspiration and ideas for their own plots. It will also appeal to
garden designers and horticultural students.
