Book synopsis

'An inspirational celebration of the finest gardens in the West Country' Encompassing the finest gardens in Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset, this superb book maintains the winning formula set by Tony Russell within his best-selling book 'The Cotswolds' Finest Gardens'. Using knowledgeable but easily accessible text and stunning photography, BBC garden-writer and broadcaster Russell brings to life each of the fifty gardens featured, providing a wealth of information on their design, plants, history, architecture and personalities. Starting at the southern-most point of the British Isles with the exotic Tresco Abbey Gardens on the Isles of Scilly, this book works its way eastwards picking up on world-famous garden restorations such as The Lost Gardens of Heligan, ground-breaking icons including The Eden Project and Compton Acres, influential historical masterpieces at Llanhydrock and Hestercombe, pre-eminent landscape gardens at Castle Hill and Kingston Maurward and award-winning plant collections at Marwood Hill and Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens. All fifty of the gardens featured are regularly open to the public. Just like The Cotswolds' Finest Gardens, The Finest Gardens of South West England is set to become a classic in its field and an indispensable guide to the very best gardens in this region. It will appeal to gardeners and non-gardeners alike and to those who live in the south-west or spend their holidays there.
