Description
|
|
|
|
In a county of such iconic landscape gardens as Wilton, Stourhead, and Longleat, there might appear to be few other gardens worth writing about—yet Timothy Mowl has been rewarded with some surprises. At Iford, Harold Peto brought Tuscany to Wiltshire in the 1890s, with perhaps the most evocative Italian garden on English soil, while giant nutmegs dot the grounds at Belcombe and I.M. Pei's Millennium Pavilion at Oare house looks as though a spaceship has just landed in the fields. 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.
