When the National Trust decided to take on the care of gardens, the
aim was that these would be the very best of their kind in England,
Wales and Northern Ireland. The Trust now has the finest collection
of gardens ever assembled under one ownership - the greatest in
number, diversity, historic importance and quality. Taken together
they contain the world's most important collection of cultivated
plants, distinguished for their beauty, rarity, historical interest
and scientific value. First published in 1996, this new edition has
been substantially revised to showcase superb new photography, and
to introduce recently acquired properties such as Greenway in Devon
and the gardens of houses such as Red House in Kent and Tyntesfield
in Somerset. Stephen Lacey paints a vivid picture of individual
Trust gardens through historical and horticultural perspectives. He
gives his personal take, describing the present state of each and
placing it firmly within the context of gardening history in
Britain. Moseley Old Hall in Staffordshire; magnificent
eighteenth-century landscapes such as 'Capability' Brown's at
Petworth in Sussex; Victorian Gardens like Biddulph Grange in
Staffordshire, with its wealth of new plants introduced from all
over the world; and the famous plantsmen's gardens of the last
century, such as Nymans in Sussex, Sissinghurst Castle in Kent, and
Hidcote in Gloucestershire.
