In the NewsMy latest book - The Garden: Elements and Styles - is hot off the press. Published by Phaidon it is a thoughtfully-compiled and varied compendium of 209 expressions of ornamental garden art. The selection of elements, features, planting and garden styles is global and covers a timespan of about 2,000 years, and organised alphabetically from Allée to Zeitgeist the individual entries consist of an illuminating, exploratory text complemented by a rich selection of stunning contemporary photographs. Both opening a window onto the story of garden-making and a a rich source of inspiration for today's garden-maker, The Garden: Elements and Styles is absolutely relevant to and inspirational for today’s gardeners, garden-makers, garden designers, garden visitors and those interested in the story of the garden. Reviews here from Financial Times and Forbes.
