Hidden Gardens by
Chris Beardshaw (Foreword), Penny David
Review This text tells the story of six diverse gardens around the UK that are
currently being restored. It is a celebration of garden design, of plants
and plantsmanship and horticultural dedication. Through archaeology, pollen
analysis, old records and photographs, the restorers aim to rediscover the
lost beauty of these enchanting gardens. The programme explores old
gardening techniques, timeless themes, persistent fashions and modern
developments and will have lots to teach gardeners, designers and
historians. Specially commissioned photography charts the progress of the
gardeners as they uncover the original planting and restore the gardens to
their former glory. Click below for more information, or to buy from Amazon:
