Product Description

Until World War I, the estate gardens of Heligan were one of the glories of Cornwall. This book tells the story of the restoration of these gardens after 70 years of neglect, against the backdrop of local opposition and a lack of funding.

About the Author

Tim Smit was born in 1954 in Scheveningen, Holland, and educated in the UK. After graduating from Durham University he worked as a county archaeologist before spending ten years as a record producer and composer, successful in Europe, the USA and Japan. In 1987 he and his family moved to Cornwall where, with John Nelson, he was to discover Heligan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Insight of The Lost Gardens of Heligan, 16 April 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Lost Gardens Of Heligan (Paperback)

Being a visitor to the lost gardens for the last five years, i have seen first hand the fantastic work that Tim Smit and his team have achieved. This Book has lots of colour photographs and maps showing what it was like when they discovered the gardens to the present day. It is a must for any keen gardener who enjoys a bit of history aswell. I shall be going to Heligan again in June 2001, when i am on holiday in cornwall, and will write another review on my return. There is also a video available which was produced by Channel 4. You can spend all day in these gardens, i particulary like the jungle where you feel the humidity change the deeper you go. I thoroughly recomend all books and videos in this range.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magical story of a garden lost in time, 27 Jun 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Lost Gardens Heligan LATEST EDITION (Hardcover)

This book is an wonderful story of how the gardens at Heligan were found buried after several decades and their restoration.

Tim Smit takes you through the feelings they had when they discovered it bit by bit sometimes coming across hidden parts of the garden even falling into one down what was the waterfall in the old rockery.

Gradually after hours of breakbreaking work the garden is uncovered and restored into a wondrous place.

Once you have read this book you will be inspired into visiting Heligan to see for yourself what it is like and I can say you will not be disappointed.
