Until World War I the estate gardens at Heligan were one of the glories of Cornwall, but they were then neglected for many years before being rediscovered and restored. Linked to a Channel 4 television series, this is a photographic record of how the workforce of Heligan, past and present, have created the splendour of the gardens today. From Victorian images that show how they once were, to recent pictures of an ice-sculpture exhibition featuring "ghosts of gardeners past", the book spans the whole of Heligan's existence.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
Intrigued by some graffiti - 'Don't come here to sleep or to slumber' - found on a wall at the now famous gardens at Heligan, Tim Smit set out to find out more about the working lives of the 15 men who signed their names there in 1914. This is the story of the invisible, behind-the-scenes, working gardens and their restoration, and a visual record of an enchanting ice sculpture exhibition which took place there. (Kirkus UK)
