The Princess's Garden by Vanessa Berridge

The Princess's Garden by Vanessa Berridge

The British obsession with gardening has fascinating roots: the Empire and trade across the globe created a fascination with exotic new plants, and showed the power and reach of Britain in the early eighteenth century. At that time, national influence wasn't measured by sporting success, musical or artistic influence. Instead it was expressed in the design of parks and gardens such as Kew and Stowe, and the style of these grand gardens was emulated first throughout Britain and then increasingly around the world. This is a story of three original thinkers, starting with the Georgian prince whose patronage made it all possible.

Garden historian Vanessa Berridge was launch editor of 'The English Garden' magazine and now writes for newspapers and magazines internationally. In 2019, she won the Garden Media Guild Garden Book of the Year Award for 'Kiftsgate Court Gardens: Three Generations of Women Gardeners' (Merrell, 2019). Her other books include 'The Princess’s Garden: Royal Intrigue and the Untold Story of Kew' (Amberley, 2015) and 'Great British Gardeners: From Early Plantsmen to Chelsea Medal Winners' (Amberley, 2018). She lives and gardens in Gloucestershire.
