The best book on Garden History I've read,
By drdebs (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Plants in Garden History: An Illustrated History of Plants and Their Influence on Garden Styles-From Ancient Egypt to the Present Day (Paperback)
This beautiful book by one of the most acclaimed gardening experts in the world is a fascinating walk through the gardens of the past. From ancient gardens through to medieval enclosed gardens and more modern garden styles, Hobhouse is a fantastic guide to matters of style, content, and design.If you enjoy garden history, or books like Anna Pavord's The Tulip I think you will really like this book. It is also great inspiration if you would like to include a historical garden (like a knot garden) into your landscaping plans
