Historic Gardens of Cornwall by Timothy Mowl
This is the fourth volume in Timothy Mowl's ground-breaking county series on historic English gardens, now sponsored by the Leverhulme Trust. Cornwall is particularly strong on nineteenth- and twentieth-century gardens, in which the mild climate allows many exotic species to flourish. The 'Lost' Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project have made the county a particular favourite among garden-lovers. As in Dr Mowl's previous volumes there is nothing bland about either his selection of important gardens or his comments about them, which are as incisive as they are informed
Dr Timothy Mowl is Reader in Architecture& Garden History, University of Bristol , and the author of companion volumes on Gloucestershire, Dorset and Wiltshire. On Historic Gardens of Gloucestershire reviewers lavished unstinted praise: 'Quite the best county garden history there is' -- Country Life'. 'Tim Mowl is rapidly becoming one of the best-known, and most stimulating writers on garden history. ... this a book to be relished, full of detail and anecdote' -- Landscape History
