Review
My favourite book of the season, this book is hard to beat. One of the best things about My Kind of Garden, in contrast with most gardening books, is that the words are few and never boring--Daily Telegraph

edition.
Product Description
The late David Hicks was one of the great designers of the twentieth century. He is initially known for his interior design but he was involved with carpets, jewellery, fabrics, furniture, wallpaper, sheets, tiles and, last but not least, gardens. His approach was dictatorial and uncompromising; what he sought to impart in this book is 'style' and it is very much a style of his own. His clear-cut attitudes are revealed in these writings on garden design and on the gardens and styles which he admires. This is a superbly illustrated book with photographs by Dana Hyde of both the gardens David Hicks designed and gardens from all around the world he admired and which particularly influenced him.

The perfect gift for a Gardener,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Kind of Garden (Hardcover)
Finally, a really fantastic survey of many of the world's great gardens together with little-known gems in surprising places from Hong Kong to Buckingham Palace, and of course David Hicks's own immaculate designs. Beautiful.

Beautiful and Full of Insight,
By Jam-i - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: David Hicks: My Kind of Garden (Hardcover)
Five stars - and only because you can't give a product "six". This is simply an amazing resource. Mr. Hicks'garden insights are priceless and his perspective on gardens singluar in merit. One of my all time favorite gardening books - beautiful on your coffee table AND a great read. His last book - and what a shame!
