| ‘Well written and sumptuously photographed … the gardens have an aspirational wow-factor … gives you a printed peek over the fence at what can be achieved in a limited space’ | | – Gardens Illustrated |
London is a city of hidden gardens, a place where few ever glimpse the colourful secrets behind the sober townhouse facades. But the gardens are there, and beautifully revealed in this lovely book.
These gardens go beyond convention; they range from the large, classical and formal to tiny jewels. There are gardens on roofs and gardens in basements, gardens with water, English cottage gardens and modern gardens. There are gardens of artists and gardens of practical enthusiasts, collectors’ gardens, passionate plantsmen’s gardens, gardens restored, revived or reclaimed.
Thanks to the shared dreams of the owners and the ingenuity of London’s finest designers, this intriguing selection of unique places will delight and inspire anyone with an interest in gardens and gardening – and in learning one or two secrets along the way.
Caroline Clifton-Mogg has written many books on garden design and is a regular contributor to magazines, including House & Garden, Harpers & Queen and Country Life. Marianne Majerus has contributed the photography to numerous books on gardens and garden design. She was voted Photographer of the Year by The Garden Writers’ Guild in 2002.
