The unfolding story of our gardens closely follows the development of the nation, most particularly its magnificent architecture, providing dazzling contribution to England's cultural heritage and fascinating insight into profound social changes over the centuries. Some English gardens remain in an historic time warp, whilst a number of the larger ones demonstrate a complete history of gardens within their own boundaries. This book selects just some of the country's numerous outstanding gardens, and key areas within them, to portray the colourful progress of the English garden from its origins to the present day.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 240mmItem Length: 170mmAuthor: Peter BrimacombeGenre: Home Garden & PetsRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
