More about the book

Gardens Through Time celebrates 200 years of gardening—the people, the ideas, and the inventions behind the passion. Jane Owen and Diarmuid Gavin follow in the footsteps of the gardeners, designers, and botanists of the past to examine how their work and ideas have influenced the designs of today. This richly illustrated volume explores the trend-setting gardens of seven key periods in garden history—from the picturesque and rustic style of Regency gardens, through the ostentatious bedding displays and exotic plant collections of the Victorians, up to the 20th century’s “outdoor rooms.”
