Product Description

Here are 20 of the most interesting and liveliest gardens in Wales; some unknown to the gardening world, some familiar, and all specially photographed by award-winning photographer Charles Hawes. This is a chance to see what is happening in Welsh gardens today, be they large or small, contemporary town gardens or delightfully old-fashioned country gardens; to see how they relate, now and in the past, to the rugged landscapes that surround them, and to see what personalities and ambitions have created them.

Review
Writer Stephen Anderton likes to walk into a garden and feel inspired by daring designs, quirkiness and innovation. --David Powell - Daily Post

Anderton's wonderful guide is enough to make me get on the internet and start looking for B&Bs. His enthusiasm comes across in his new book which could grace any coffee table in style. --Emma Townshend - The Independent

A superb production with an opinionated and provocative text. --Stephen Lacey - The Telegraph
