Synopsis

A brief illustrated history of the Arts and Crafts Garden.

Though most famous for its architecture, furniture and ornamental work, the Arts and Crafts movement's values of simplicity, craftsmanship and beauty also produced influential gardens all over Britain.

This classic Shire Library guide explores:

- A rich history: chart the rise of Arts and Crafts gardens as they became a worldwide phenomenon between the 1890s and the 1930s, in response to Victorian and Edwardian industrialisation
- Iconic designers: Examine the work of legendary figures like Gertrude Jekyll and Sir Edwin Lutyens, who skilfully blended manor-house formalism with the naive charm of the cottage garden.
- Masterful design: Uncover the secrets behind these romantic and engaging landscapes, from formally clipped topiary to rugged, wild borders where every detail was meticulously planned

This essential guide also contains a list of places to visit, directing you to the locations of these magnificent gardens across Britain to experience these beautiful works of art first hand.
