Giardini segreti

by Claire Masset

« E il giardino segreto continuava a fiorire, rivelando ogni mattina un miracolo nuovo ». Frances Hodgson Burnett, Il giardino segreto Oasi ombrose di tranquillità, frutteti incantati o eccentrici capricci; rifugi d’infanzia, labirinti e orti profumati: in questo libro Claire Masset rende omaggio ai gioielli segreti del National Trust e alla sua opera di tutela del patrimonio paesaggistico inglese.

A picture book of heaven for garden lovers! Gorgeous photography that transports you to these magical garden as well as a nice little blurb working as a mini tour guide to each. Ugh....if only teleportation was a thing. I'd spend my days in these beautiful refuges.

Paradise behind old walls. Luckily individual varieties are mentioned where appropriate, so that you can, for example, track down a dreamy rosa 'Gloire Lyonnaise' like that in the garden at Fenton House.

I could look at the picture on p.107, of roses in a fifteenth-century courtyard in Wiltshire, until the proverbial cows come home.

Wonderful photos and stories about some of the gardens in England ! I now want to travel to see these beautiful gardens! I enjoyed reading the stories behind the development of the homes and gardens and how designs were chosen to enhance the settings.

Beautiful photographs. Enough detail and photographs on each garden discussed that you can picture it.
