Product Description

Sainsbury's Magazine, August 2001
'...there is something here for everyone with an interest in gardening, all beautifully photographed throughout the seasons by Tony Lord'

Product Description
The garden created by Rosemary Verey at Barnsley House, Gloucestershire, is one of England's finest and most famous. This is Rosemary Verey's personal tour of her garden, an account of the process of making it, including not only successes and the realization of dreams but also changes as the garden evolved. She explains different gardening skills, including creating an all-seasons garden, making a decorative vegetable garden, choosing the best bulbs, and placing focal points such as statues and fountains.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Quintissential English Garden, 3 April 2002
This is a beautiful book about an amazing garden. The late Rosemary Verey's garden at Barnsley House in the Cotswolds is one of the most idylllic you could ever hope to visit, and this book captures the atmosphere of the garden perfectly. Illustrated throughout with stunning photographs and intricate garden plans, it will inspire you to create your own version of this perfect place. It shows how to plant for colour and effect in every season, and also lists the names of the plants. Once you've read it, you'll want to go to Barnsley and wallow in the glorious and special surroundings. And if you've already been, this book will take you back there whenever you need inspiration and beauty in your life.
