Trade ReviewMany garden lovers make pilgrimages to England to see some of the world’s most famous gardens. But those of London are less well known, and some are virtually unknowable, except in the pages of Great Gardens of London.
“...this substantial book is laden with photographs, but where it excels is in the author’s skill at weaving together history, horticulture and a disparate array of interesting facts. ...the reader is led on a journey which has gardens at its heart, but actually offers more.”
