“A lovely and well-written guide, a welcome addition to any garden lover’s collection. Each of the gardens, so vividly described, was built with a particular idea and intent in its creators’ minds, often dictated by a period and style, or the ingenious place in its geography and the land’s needs, or by simple flights of fancy. I greatly appreciate your research into each garden’s historic origins and owners, a topic rarely touched on by other garden writers”

They invite all ages to wander, to wonder and to explore in a world of changing seasonal beauty. This guidebook opens to the door to these special places and I encourage all readers to unlock their magic whenever possible.”
