It traces the development of garden design, influenced by the varied uses and concepts of the garden through the ages - from the physician's herb garden through the formal theatrical gardens of Tudor and Stuart times, the 18th-century pleasure garden to the Victorian and Edwardian gardener's garden. The growth of science in the garden, the introduction and propagation of exotic plants from abroad and the rise of the nursery industry and media coverage of horticulture are all discussed. Throughout, the author shows how the grand parks and formal gardens of the rich have influenced the ideas and techniques of the more modest gardener and shows how we have gradually become a nation of obsessive gardeners and more recently of weekend observers of other people's gardens.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49512095285521,"sku":"GOR001248584","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51681110982929,"sku":"GOR001134000","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/014008553X.jpg?v=1750939953"},{"product_id":"national-trust-book-of-english-gardens-book-richard-bisgrove-9780670809325","title":"The National Trust Book of English Gardens","description":"A guide to the gardens of the National Trust, showing the development of the English garden throughout history.

It is inevitably windy, lacking in privacy too shady, badly drained, too large, too small or hopelessly overgrown. \"Garden Rescue\" is written to help gardeners to develop, reclaim or maintain their gardens more successfully, not only be surmounting problems, but often by turning them to advantage. Originally published as \"Your Problem Garden\" and revised and updated, this classic book seeks to explain not just the 'how' of the gardening, but the 'why' as well. Rather than trotting out cliched solutions, Richard Bisgrove helps the reader to understand the unique challenges posed by their gardens in order to come up with a tailor-made rescue package. Climate, soil character, planning and maintenance are all discussed, and there is a useful chapter devoted to recovering a garden that is in a poor state of repair.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49601457979665,"sku":"GOR004836983","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49609748840721,"sku":"GOR004832415","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0711226458.jpg?v=1750784332"},{"product_id":"flower-garden-book-richard-bisgrove-9780711205222","title":"The Flower Garden","description":"A guidance and visual inspiration on how to create harmonious planting schemes for a year-round kaleidoscope of flower colour in any garden.

William Robinson (1838–             1935) and Gertrude Jekyll were almost exact contemporaries and each made enormous contributions to the English garden –              and so to the gardens of the whole English-speaking and Anglophile world –              but in rather different ways. Robinson, more than any other gardener, was responsible for sweeping away the carpet bedding of the Victorians and promoting a more relaxed style using hardy plants. His voluminous writings have been hugely influential. The English Flower Garden (1883) has been described as 'the most widely read and influential gardening book ever written'. The Wild Garden(1870) runs it close. As a man he was something of a paradox –              an Irish bachelor who is widely regarded as the father of the English flower garden, a theorist who scorned theorizing and an author who wrote with passion –              and simultaneously –              about the technicalities of mushroom cultivation and the picturesque treatment of a thousand-acre estate.           Illustrations include engravings from Robinson's books and contemporary watercolours, as well as photographs of Robinsonian gardens –              especially his own garden at Gravetye Manor.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50601140125969,"sku":"GOR004992148","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51715112665361,"sku":"GOR012622317","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51722812653841,"sku":"CIN0711225427G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0711225427.jpg?v=1750701282"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-richard-bisgrove.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
