Great Gardens, Great Designers by George Plumptre

The essence of good garden design is a certain intangible quality that remains for some gardeners something they can only admire. George Plumptre sets out to explain this magic and how it can be created. Firstly, he charts the development of contemporary garden design from the late-19th century to the present; then he focuses on the work of the great designers from Britain, America and Europe. Finally, the author looks at the structure of modern gardens.
GEORGE PLUMPTRE is Chief Executive of the National Gardens Scheme. He is the author of several books on gardens, including Heritage Gardens (2007).
