Brilliant Gardens: A Celebration of English Gardening by Candida Lycett Green
Ninety unusual gardens, providing an amusing and affectionate picture of the English attitude toward gardens, are featured in this book. Each entry includes a colour photograph, an interview with its creator, full details of plants and bedding out to encourage the reader. Topiary, model villages and shell-work are amongst the imaginative features designed to catch the eye. Candida Lycett Green's book "The Front Garden" was made into a successful television programme. Andrew Lawson is a painter and photographer whose work has featured in "Discover Unexpected London" and "The New Englishwoman's Garden".
