The New English Garden

The New English Garden

<DIV><P>In <I>The New English Garden</I> the leading garden writer Tim Richardson, author of The Arcadian Friends, discusses twenty-five significant English gardens made or remade over the past decade. Together these represent a coherent overview of what remains probably the most inventive garden culture in the world.</P><P>With the benefit of an international perspective, the author surveys a wide spectrum of gardens in styles ranging from the cutting-edge naturalistic planting design of the <B>Sheffield School</B> to the scientific imagery of <B>Througham Court</B>. While many of these gardens are challenging or thought-provoking, other reflect the sensuously romantic tradition of English planting design, which has also been moving ahead in interesting ways.</P><P>Through Tim Richardsonâ??s incisive writing, <I>The New English Garden </I>presents all that is most interesting about garden-making in England in the twenty-first century and is beautifully illustrated by Andrew Lawsonâ??s photography of some of Englandâ??s most famous gardens, from <B>Prince Charlesâ??s</B> garden at <B>Highgrove,</B><B>Christopher Llyodâ??s</B> garden at Great Dixter and <B>Arabella Lennox-Boydâ??s</B> garden at Gresgarth right up to the <B>Olympic Park </B>in 2012.</P><P>The Full List of Gardens is:</P><ul><li>Armscote Manor</li><li>Mount St John</li><li>Packwood House</li><li>Scamptson Hall</li><li>Daylesford House</li><li>The Lynn Garden, Ascott</li><li>Great Dixter</li><li>Througham Court</li><li>Crockmore House</li><li>Pettifers</li><li>Waltham Place</li><li>Highgrove</li><li>Living Wall, Athenaeum Hotel</li><li>Trentham</li><li>Plaz Mataxu</li><li>Cottesbrooke Hall</li><li>Olympic Park</li><li>Temple Guiting</li><li>Angel Field</li><li>Hanham Court</li><li>Tilbuty Hall</li><li>Gresgarth</li><li>Bury Court</li><li>The Laskett</li><li>Wildside</li></ul><P> </P></DIV>
