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 is a practical and inspirational guide to creating a garden that looks and feels good throughout the year, even when the frost bites and plants are enveloped in a mantle of snow. The great plantswoman Rosemary Verey shows how to use space, the patterns created by paths and walls, the shapes of shrubs, the shadows of evergreens and the silhouettes of trunks and twisted branches to make elegant pictures for the months when the garden is stripped of summer foliage and billowing flowers. She also introduces us to a world of brilliant winter colours - the delicate pinks and greens of hellebores, the rich crimson of holly and cotoneaster berries and the bright yellow of aconites and crocus.
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.
