The 'Garden of England', 'The High Weald', these are phrases that
describe a 70-year-old Area of Outstanding National Beauty in
Southern England. Among these dramatic landscapes and ancient
woodlands stand many castles, mansions and cottages, ringed with
orchards, meadows, drifting flowers and horticultural exotica.
Featured gardens range from grand landscapes to works of glorious
eccentricity, Arts and Crafts green rooms to postage stamp-sized
plots of ingenuity. Wilderness weaves into floral genius, while
native and exotic species stand side-by-side - all within the
unique climate of the English garden. Including chapters on English
Parks, Arts and Crafts Gardens and Woodland Gardens, Where the
Wildness Pleases - The English Garden Celebrated pays homage to
English horticultural excellence and tells the gripping stories
behind some of our most breath-taking landscapes. This book also
features a handy Who's Who of designers, gardeners, plant hunters
and nurserymen, and a brief guide to English playing greens -
cricket, bowling, croquet and tennis. This is a welcome guide for
anyone interested in visiting this astonishingly beautiful part of
the country, or those thinking of buying a plot.
