What is Great Gardens, Great Designers about?

Glorious garden design is a sight to behold. However, for a full appreciation it is important to be familiar with its history. It is an art form, and George Plumptre, with the aid of gorgeous full-color photographs, has succeeded in making it not only fascinating but easily understood. Understanding the evolution of garden designs, from Victorian, Edwardian, and Classicist to Modernist and Post-War, will provide a deeper appreciation of function, structure, expanse and landscape. Increased insight is gained by Plumptre's coverage of a wide range of gardening greats, including Vita Sackville-West and John Brookes. The structure of modern design and its incorporation of border planting, water, and ornaments, as well as hedges, trees, and shrubs, demonstrate a number of stunning effects. Through the heroes, history, and essence of gardening, Plumptre informs and inspires.
