The people and publications at the root of a national obsession In
the century between the accession of Elizabeth I and the
restoration of Charles II, a horticultural revolution took place in
England, making it a leading player in the European horticultural
game. Ideas were exchanged across networks of gardeners, botanists,
scholars, and courtiers, and the burgeoning vernacular book trade
spread this new knowledge still further-reaching even the growing
number of gardeners furnishing their more modest plots across the
verdant nation and its young colonies in the Americas. Margaret
Willes introduces a plethora of garden enthusiasts, from the
renowned to the legions of anonymous workers who created and tended
the great estates. Packed with illustrations from the herbals,
design treatises, and practical manuals that inspired these men-and
occasionally women-Willes's book enthrallingly charts how England's
garden grew.
