Royal Gardeners by Alan Titchmarsh

Alan Titchmarsh takes us on a fascinating tour through the history of Britain's royal gardens from medieval times to the present day. Taking in existing royal gardens as well as many that now only exist in paintings, Alan uncovers the stories behind the gardens and the colourful monarchs who created them. From Hampton Court Palace to Kew Palace and Gardens, to Osborne House and through to the modern day developments at the Prince of Wales' home at Highgrove, Alan takes a highly personal canter through Britain's gardening heritage. Fully illustrated with original plans, designs, letters, planting records and full colour diagrams of the major surviving gardens, this book charts some of the most outstanding gardens in Britain.

Alan Titchmarsh is the author of over 40 gardening publications, including The Complete Gardener's Handbook. He's been nominated Gardening Writer of the Year twice, and the Garden Writers' Guild honored him with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004. He is the gardening correspondent for the Daily Express and Sunday Express, and writes for BBC Gardeners' World Magazine on a regular basis.
