The Making of the English Garden

The Making of the English Garden

by "SundayTimes" (Author)

Synopsis

This illustrated work is based on The Sunday Times series published in Summer 1988. It is a history of the garden arranged thematically rather than chronologically, from the first budding of a cultivated plant in prehistory to plant genetics and the geodosic dome. Each component of the garden is minutely examined as a subject in its own right: the physical environment of soil, topography and climate, food plants, trees and shrubs, flowering plants, protected environments and garden design. A special supplement lists details of 100 historical gardens to visit throughout the British Isles.
