A glorious celebration of the greatest gardens, parks, and landscapes in Britain, curated by the prestigious organization The Gardens Trust.

This landmark book is a glorious celebration of the greatest gardens, parks, and landscapes in Britain, with stunning photography accompanied by authoritative text from leading garden historians and conservators.

It is lovingly curated by The Gardens Trust, a prominent UK conservation charity dedicated to preserving, studying, and spotlighting historic gardens.

Arranged chronologically, it covers around 60 individual gardens, specially selected to give a broad overview of the history of British garden design from 1600 to 2000. Each chapter also includes a more general essay that gives a wider picture of changes in social context, taste, and style in each period, and ends with a short gazetteer of gardens from the same time throughout the world.

Entries include:

  • Elizabethan splendor at Kenilworth Castle.
  • Spectacular landscapes by Capability Brown at Blenheim Palace and Stowe.
  • Birkenhead Park, the Victorian inspiration for New York's Central Park.
  • The classic cottage garden created by Margery Fish at East Lambrook, Somerset.
  • Ian Hamilton Finlay's modern Scottish masterpiece, Little Sparta.

Go on a voyage of garden discovery with this beautiful book and learn more about the gardens and landscapes that are a much-loved part of our shared national story.
