Description

|
|
|
Is Gloucestershire the richest county in Britain for great gardens of almost every period? Timothy Mowl makes that claim and whisks us around the county, garden by garden, to judge for ourselves. Here are a double-decker cloister enclosure of a Plantagenet duke who lost his head because he competed horticulturally with Henry VIII; a late 20th-century abstract garden in which metal flowers nine feet high weep tears into their own reflections; Painswick Rococo Garden, with its relics of Pan worship; and a Dutch formal garden that has survived with 17th-century apples and yew-lined canals. 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.
