Description
Winner of the Inspirational Book of the Year, Garden Media Guild
Awards
Ambra Edwards and Charlie Hopkinson explore, in words and pictures,
the lives, visions and achievements of fourteen very different head
gardeners.
"Ambra Edwards's fascinating interviews show what diversity there is in British gardens. It's a book about people and how they tick - people who happen to be gardeners." - The Times
"An informative and eye-opening delight." - Philippa Stockley, Country Life
“The author, well-known for her sparky writing style and broad hinterland of interests, has interviewed 14 head gardeners in search of some answers, teaming up with the highly empathetic and skilled photographer Charlie Hopkinson to produce this visually appealing and revealing book about some remarkable people in horticulture… Nor is it hard to argue with her view that gardeners are undervalued by society, in status and reward. Let’s hope this brilliant book goes some way to redressing that.” - Ursula Buchan, The Garden
