Summary:

"The National Trust has the finest collection of gardens in the United Kingdom. In this book Stephen Lacey paints a vivid historical and horticultural picture of the individual gardens, placing them firmly within the context of gardening history in Britain. All the major periods and styles of garden design are represented, ranging from the formality of early gardens such as Hanbury Hall and Ham House to magnificent 18th-century landscapes like Stowe and Croome and the heady Victorian creations of Biddulph Grange and Waddesdon Manor. And of course there are the famous plantsmen's gardens of the last century, such as Nymans, Hidcote Manor and Sissinghurst Castle. Much has happened in the gardens of the National Trust since the last revision of this book, and this edition has been substantially revised to embrace recent restorations and to showcase superb new photography.It also features the newly acquired Stoneywell, Tredegar and Dyffryn gardens, as well as details of the new plantings, restorations and changes to Tyntesfield, Hidcote Manor, Ham House, Godolphin, Bodnant and many others"--provided by publisher.
