Rosemary Verey was an internationally renowned English garden designer and author, celebrated for her transformative work at Barnsley House. She possessed a distinctive talent for adapting grand elements from large public gardens into intimate scales suitable for home gardeners. Her innovative approach influenced countless garden designers and continues to shape contemporary garden aesthetics. Verey also played a pivotal role in re-popularizing the ornamental potager, highlighting the beautiful intersection of utility and design in kitchen gardens.
Each of the gardens revealed here is described in detail by its owner and we learn how each was created and why. Most are unknown, although some - Sylvia's garden at Newby Hall, and the summer garden at Thurly Harcourt in France - are open to visitors; yet all retain their intimate atmosphere.
This book is a combination of flower arranging and gardening. The author presents border and planting schemes and a detailed directory describing plants with useful or unusual qualities to offer to the creative flower arranger.
