An enlightened walk in historical gardens 22 Oct 2005

By Heather Sanft - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

Christopher Thacker would be a delight to meet in any historically significant garden. Thacker's luscious use of writings and poetry interspersed with historical detail and visuals give the reader a lavishly satisfying overview of the history of gardens.

This book enriches our knowledge of cultural diversity and the exciting significant historical figures who lay hidden in the gardens. Thacker inspires us to go explore the garden with all our senses like appreciating the look, bouquet, taste and personality of a fine fruit wine.
