The Lives of the Great Gardeners by Stephen Anderton
Throughout history great gardeners have risen from all walks of life. What they all have in common is the ability to take an idea and develop it in a new manner relevant to their times. The book moves from the politically allusive gardens of 18th-century England, to Charles Jencks' Scottish garden inspired by 21st-century cosmography.
