The Gardens of Wales by Helena Attlee
The books in this series offer a general introduction capturing the essence of a national garden style and an outline of its history, followed by explorations of representative gardens, which allow the author to explain in more detail their character and nature. This exploration of the gardens of Wales uncovers an exciting range of gardens, large and small, public and private, historic and contemporary, all over the country. Helena Attlee's lively text combines with Alex Ramsay's evocative photographs to convey a rich treasury waiting to be discovered.Documenting both visitor attractions and private gardens that are part of the National Garden Scheme from across Wales with wildly varying landscapes this really is an armchair treat!
