Description

|
|
|
Cornwall had gardens before the Romans came; the gardens still flower every August. Its Dark Age saints had holy gardens for baptisms, 150 years ago the county staged a subtropical renaissance, and Cornwall has in the Eden Project achieved the greatest biosphere of the modern age. From the early gardens at Chysauster and Tingatel, which reveal Cornwall in very different moods, to such modern ventures as the practice of Moon Gardening in the Walled Garden at Tresillian, Timothy Mowl explores the "off-beat Duchy" from Penzance in the southwest to Bude in the north. As with the other books in the series (written to call attention to the individual garden characters of each of England's counties), scads of illustrations, including maps and photographs—16 pages in color—underscore Mowl's engaging text.
