Stourhead Summary

Stourhead by Stephen Anderton

A beautifully illustrated celebration of Stourhead, featuring the legendary Georgian landscape garden in glorious autumn colour with essays by head gardener Alan Power.

This book is a beautifully illustrated celebration of Stourhead, the estate in Wiltshire which features a Palladian mansion and a legendary Georgian landscape garden. The garden has a lake, temples, fountains, grottoes, bridges and monuments of all kinds. Stourhead is particularly famous for its autumn colour, which is rather like the British equivalent of New England. The head gardener Alan Power has been a fixture on Radio 4 every October since 2008, where he previews the coming season and judges listeners' autumn photographs. Alan Power will be contributing four essays to the book, including ones on the trees of Stourhead and autumn at the estate.

Alan's Power's career as a National Trust gardener began in 1995 when he joined Stourhead's garden team. He was then tempted over to Mount Stewart in County Down, only to return to Stourhead in Wiltshire in 2004 when he landed his dream job as Garden and Estate Manager in the classic landscape garden he so loves.
