Description: Cheshire: Windgather Press, 2013. 25cm., hardcover, 460pp. illus., most in color. Summary : Norfolk Gardens is a celebration of the rich history of gardens and parks in the county of Norfolk. Beginning with a detailed exploration of the history of gardening in the county - from the pre-18th century ‘medicinals’, through the establishment of the great country house gardens and civic spaces of the 18th and 19th centuries, to the impact of modern ideas of ‘ecology’ and ‘minimalist’ gardening – the volume gives detailed descriptions of 330 of the most beautiful and significant gardens, parks and open spaces in Norfolk. It explores the impact gardeners with national reputations – such as Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown, Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll – have had on the development of garden, landscape design and planting, both in the county and on the wider national stage, and examines the influence that these landscapes have on our ideas of gardening today. The volume is more than just a guide to gardens and spaces open to the public: whether large, well-known public spaces or small, private gems, all the gardens included are of particular importance in the history of gardening. Lavishly illustrated throughout in full colour, with an introduction by the distinguished landscape and garden historian Tom Williamson, Norfolk Gardens is a comprehensive and detailed account of the history and heritage of gardening.
