Riassunto

"A tour round any garden in his company is a treat, and it is good to see him responding as much to place as to plants ... the book is worth buying for the chapter on Beth Chatto alone. Lloyd fans should enjoy the throw-away, chatty never referential style" - The Spectator. His travels take us all over Britain, abroad to Australia and the United States where he finds gardens - and their owners - to discuss, to challenge and to admire and praise. In this collection of gardens we can clearly discern the intelligence, passion and dedication of those who spend their lives in the pursuit of creating these glorious gardens.
