"A great English garden may be associated with a renowned castle or a picturesque manor house, but the much celebrated team of Lawson and Taylor chose to include all types of private gardens in their stunning new book, which touches on a range of examples of garden designs and principles most successfully carried out. Lawson never fails to delight with photographs of absolutely gorgeous views, be it a tiny roadside cottage garden or the restoration of a revered country estate. And Taylor is surely one of the most erudite of contemporary garden writers. Here she dazzles with descriptions that inform, inspire, and entertain. Culminating this breathtaking tour is a list of addresses for readers planning a visit. Overall, an alluring contribution to gardening literature." -Booklist-
