  This new Blue Guide includes detailed descriptions of more than two hundred of England's most beautiful and noteworthy gardens, from the magnificent 18th century landscape of Stourhead to the imaginative quarter-of-an-acre Akenfield. County by county, the authors trace the history, discuss the special features, examine the plant collections and list the facilities, including access for the disabled, of each garden. The guide includes a history of garden design, a glossary, illustrations and a selection of garden plans.
