British Gardens By Monty Don & Derry Moore

Monty Don travels from Scotland to the Cornish coast, seeking to understand what gardens say about us. Historical gardens and public parks, mountains and seascapes, urban gardens and rural nurseries, glasshouses and community plots: each encounter reveals marks of ingenuity, eccentricity and adaptation to changing environments. From Northumbria’s Alnwick Gardens and Beatrix Potter’s Lake District farmhouse to the rewilded walled garden on the Knepp Estate and the story of the first garden gnome, Monty’s account brings in an astonishing range of British experience. Illustrated by stunning photography from Monty’s long-time collaborator Derry Moore.
