I saw the photos collected in this book on a recent visit to Wakehurst gardens in Sussex. They are a truly remarkable collection of over 200 tip top garden pictures taken by professionals and amateurs across the world, capturing the beauty of nature in myriad patterns and forms. Not to be missed.

Really beautiful. Lovely just to look at, or to help you think about your own garden photography.
The book was even more enjoyable than seeing the actual exhibition!
Well worth the money at £12.50.

Containing over 200 photographs on the theme of gardens from photographers around the world, divided into five categories: Plant Portraits, My Garden,Garden Views, Life in the Garden and Trees, with a section for Young Garden Photographer of the Year, the diversity of images seems to go well beyond the limitations of the garden.
While some of the photographs clearly require a degree of knowledge about photography or special lens or other photographic equipment, there are just as many that could have been taken using a basic camera and with little expertise, and it is this combination that makes this collection so appealing, demonstrating that what really matters on the part of the photographer is recognising the potential for a good shot.
With photographs taken under almost all circumstances, and ranging from macro shots to wide vistas, this is an inspirational collection.
