The Thousand Year Old Garden Summary

The Thousand Year Old Garden: Inside the Secret Garden at Lambeth Palace by Nick Stewart Smith

A fascinating and intimate portrait of a garden over time ... Reading is like being given a rusty key to a beautiful secret garden. - Ben Dark, Author of The Grove

Hidden away behind high stone walls in the centre of London is Lambeth Palace Garden, a 10-acre site that has been continuously cultivated for more than a thousand years.

Join Head Gardener Nick Stewart Smith as he unlocks the gates and invites us to wander through a secret garden where nature is at the heart of everything and where a thoughtful approach to gardening creates a haven for all sorts of native wildlife, allowing nature to flourish in the midst of one of the world's busiest cities.

The Thousand Year Old Garden is a comforting meditation through the seasons on the act of renewal, hope, gardening, and our place in nature.

The Thousand Year Old Garden Reviews

It is a fascinating read and best of all, with appetite whetted, the reader can arrange to visit the garden which opens to the public through the National Garden Scheme.
