Inhaltsangabe

'The most elegantly written and visually appealing history of English gardens to date' The Times

From Tudor knot gardens, to Victorian extravaganzas and minimalist gardens of the new millennium, Charles Quest-Ritson has produced a new kind of gardening history.

Whilst the gardens of the rich have always been impressive symbols of social and economic success, the gardens of the poor, by contrast, began as a basicc means of survival. In a survey spanning the last five hundred years, the author shows how gardens have altered across the generations in direct responce to changes in society. This is an illuminating piece of social history which reflects England's constant fascination with its gardens and their owners.
