176pp., b. & w. and colour illus. Well illustrated book looking at the history of British gardens from 1945, when the gardens emerged from a six-year period of unprecedented destruction into a period of energy and achievement. The author describes the social background to the renaissance of gardening. He groups the individual gardens he discusses at length into chapters on the basis of style, while the gazetteer which concludes the book gives a fuller list of new gardens, many of which are open to the public.
