The story begins with Arts and Crafts gardens, typified by herbaceous borders and modern planting, and continues with the Edwardian debate between formality and "wild" gardening as well as interwar grandeur, postwar practicality, and pioneering artists' gardens. Beautifully illustrated with 200 photographs, this is an illuminating survey of an outstanding century of British garden-making.
