Garden History by Tom Turner
Explores about 150 gardens over four millennia of Western garden design. This illustrated book considers the why, the what, the how and the where of garden design by tracing the development of gardens through history and across social, political and philosophical boundaries. It brings together knowledge and understanding from a range of interests.'The apt choice of quotations will provide an invaluable reference for garden historians and illustrates that garden design is so much more than plants and drawings.. Although this book will not fit in your pocket, put it in your suitcase as an essential reference for serious garden expeditions.' – Historic Gardens Review
