Britain's pre-eminent gardener and most revered photographer take
readers on a journey across Venice to show how the city's complex
history and fragile ecosystem create the perfect conditions for
splendid gardens. For all its history and romanticism, Venice is
not well known as a destination for horticultural tourists-but
Monty Don is here to change that. As lush and colorful as a summer
garden, this book takes readers on a spectacular tour around Venice
- across its bridges and down its canals to explore both well-known
and unexpected pockets of garden delights. Starting in the heart of
the city and working their way out to the Veneto, Monty and
acclaimed photographer Derry Moore celebrate the beauty of these
places and tell their unique stories: from a nunnery garden with a
history of exotic animals to the serene terraces of the Cini
Foundation; charming window boxes to surprising rooftop
sanctuaries. Each site is featured in Derry's luscious photographs
and Monty's erudite and often deeply personal commentary. The
perfect gift for garden enthusiasts or anyone with a passion for
Venice, this magnificent book is a must-have for fans across the
world.
