Viac o knihe

In this lavish book, a companion to the acclaimed BBC series, one of Britain's most celebrated gardening experts takes us on a breathtaking tour through the history of Britain's royal gardens, from medieval times to the present day. Taking in existing royal gardens as well as those that now only exist in paintings, Alan Titchmarsh uncovers the stories behind the gardens and the colorful monarchs who created them. From Hampton Court Palace and Gardens to the modern-day developments at the Prince of Wales' home at Highgrove, Titchmarsh takes a highly personal excursion through Britain's gardening heritage. Richly illustrated with color photos, original plans, letters, planting records, and full-color diagrams of the major surviving gardens, this is a glorious record of some of the world's most remarkable gardens. Alan Titchmarsh--horticulturist, well-known BBC TV presenter, and author of more than 30 books--has twice been named Britain's Gardening Writer of the Year.
