"For centuries, walled gardens have provided a wealth of food, fruit and flowers for our great houses. Beginning as simple medieval enclosures, they evolved into powerful status symbols and centres of world-class horticultural expertise. Discover the features that define great walled kitchen gardens, and which also provide an invaluable template for those that await restoration. From fairytale enclosure of Knightshayes in Devon to the garden that Churchill built by hand at Chartwell in Kent, from the recently revived garden at Blickling in Norfolk to the atmospheric ruins at Plas Newydd in North Wales, this book is the perfect guide for anyone who shares a fascination for these unique and enchanting spaces"--from Back cover. |
