Críticas:

This is a book we all need to read: through it, we will understand better what we are trying to achieve, and what makes us enjoy gardens. By 'we', I mean garden designers, horticulturalists, gardeners, as well as everybody who has ever walked through a gate or looked over a wall and sighed with pleasure at the discovery of a new garden. It is a big book, as full of ideas as it is of pictures... In my experience, it is rare to find a book about gardens written as well as it illustrated, or vice versa. This is an exception - the writing is informative and inspiring; the photographs, mostly by William Collinson, evoke mood and atmosphere, illustrate beauty and structure, and exemplify detail. --Garden Design Journal

This is one of those books filled with pictures of gardens so timelessly romantic, you have to fight the desire to go outside, dig up your grubby patch and start again. --The Sunday Times

Reseña del editor:

This is the first book on the work of one of today's most celebrated and sought-after garden designers. Arne Maynard is known for his award-winning gardens at the Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower Show (2000, 2012) and for his beautiful and sympathetic gardens for private houses across the world. Central to his work as a designer is his ability to identify and draw out the essence of a place, something that gives his gardens a particular quality of harmony and belonging. Maynard is also a passionate gardener himself, and is in the process of transforming the garden around his house in Monmouthshire, Wales. This garden is one of those featured in the book, offering unique insights into the work in progress and his design methods. Also featured is Maynard's very first garden of his own, at Guanock House in Norfolk, where over ten years he created a formal layout - including a kitchen garden, herbaceous borders and a knot garden - from a field. Each of the twelve gardens is specially photographed and is described through the seasons in personal text by Maynard himself, including details of the brief and plant selection. The book also includes fully illustrated features on various topics close to Maynard's heart, such as growing and using roses, planting borders, creating productive kitchen gardens, incorporating sculpture in the garden, and training trees and shrubs. This beautiful book will appeal to garden lovers everywhere, whether armchair gardeners keen to explore the beautiful designs, or hands-on gardeners seeking inspiration and ideas for their own plots. It will also appeal to garden designers and horticultural students.
