Welcome to the joys of nineteenth century gardening and design! The
Victorians were masters of combining geometric formality and
bright, formal, seasonal bedding to create lush, exuberant outdoor
living spaces. This delightful book presents Victorian gardening
style and design using beautiful landscapes lavish with carpet
beds, topiary, statuary, sundials, marble and stone walkways, as
well as classical architectural ruins, fountains, and pools. Many
restorations and recreations of Victorian gardens are highlighted,
including Osborne House, on the Isle of Wight (Queen Victorias
country home), Biddulph Grange in Staffordshire, and Down House in
Kent (home to Charles Darwin). Authentic Victorian writings, design
instructions, and illustrations guide the modern gardener on how to
shape up, Victorian style. Gorgeously illustrated with over 200
beautiful color photographs plus illustrations, diagrams, and
layouts of restorations and recreations, this book is sure to
inspire and give the reader confidence to experiment. All who enjoy
looking at and working in beautiful outdoor spaces will find this
book irresistible.
