Format:Hardcover
This book addresses the issue of how to see a garden: what to look for, what to consider, how to enjoy more than simply the plant collection. A good, enjoyable and stimulating read.
An essential companion to the Good Gardens Guide - though it, for once, is not UK centred and it recommends gardens to visit mostly outside the UK, so good also for informing where you might go for holidays.

A superbly illustrated and deftly written touring exploration of ten types of gardens
14 Jun 2009
Format:Hardcover
The next best thing to digging in one's own garden is the visiting of another. Written by gardening expert Louisa Jones, "The Garden Visitor's Companion" is a superbly illustrated and deftly written touring exploration of ten types of gardens, representing a diversity of gardening forms and concepts. Along with each selected garden, ten questions that a visitor might ask are posed. A series of international gardening experts respond to these questions, offering their reasons and insights with respect to these horticultural worlds of beauty, elegance, and imagination. Of special note is the advice for opening one's own garden to visitors. Enhanced with the inclusion of addresses and contact numbers for selected gardens and their designers, "The Garden Visitor's Companion" is a perfect browse for dedicated gardeners in the off season, and an invaluable read for anyone planning on visiting gardens during the differing growing seasons -- as well those considering opening up their own gardens for public viewing.
