The English Country House Garden
Author: George Plumptre
Publisher: White Lion Publishing
ISBN: 0711239762
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
'This book will inspire and delight … the stories of these gardens so compellingly captured by George Plumptre make the reader stop and tarry awhile, marvelling at the energy, the vision and the passion of the people who created gardens such as Hidcote, Sissinghurst and Great Dixter.' (The English Garden) 'A feast of horticulture and Englishness.' (House & Garden) 'Tells the tale of the English Country House Gardens over the past 500 years expertly and informatively.' (Countryside Magazine) 'Sure to become a classic.' (Garden Design Journal) Gardening Book of the Year 2014 (Daily Telegraph) Revised and updated edition. There is something special about the English country house garden: from its quiet verdant lawns to its high yew hedges, this is a style much-desired and copied around the world. The English country house is most often conceived as a private, intimate place, a getaway from working life. A pergola, a sundial, a croquet lawn, a herbaceous border of soft planting; here is a space to wander and relax, to share secrets, and above all to enjoy afternoon tea. But even the most peaceful of gardens also take passion and hard work to create. This new book takes a fresh look at the English country house garden, starting with the owners and the stories behind the making of the gardens. Glorious photographs capture the gardens at their finest moments through the seasons, and a sparkling and erudite text presents twenty-five gardens - some grand, some personal, some celebrated, some never-before-photographed - to explore why this garden style has been so very enduring and influential. From the Victorian grandeur of Tyntesfield and Cragside, to the Arts & Crafts simplicity of Rodmarton Manor and Charleston; from Scampston, in the same family since the 17th century, to new gardens by Dan Pearson and Tom Stuart-Smith; and with favourites such as Hidcote and Great Dixter alongside new discoveries, this book will be a delicious treat for garden-lovers.

Kaffe Fassetts Country Garden Quilts
Author: GMC Distribution
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781906007423
Category : Quilting
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
This the tenth in the series of Kaffe Fassett's highly successful patchwork and quilting books from Rowan, celebrating a decade of books from one of the foremost colourists of his time. It offers 20 new quilt designs that embrace a strong floral theme and use Kaffe's new fabrics. Photographed at Great Dixter, the 15th century English manor house home of Christopher Lloyd, the well known pioneering gardener and writer, is the sumptuous backdrop for the glorious collection of new quilt designs from Kaffe and his chosen designers. Kaffe's new printed fabrics, Brocade Floral and Pinking Flower, which are lush florals and Targets and Jungle Stripe, which are dramatic large scale designs. Spot and Aboriginal Dot are small-scale designs that quilters find particularly useful. Colours range from the rich and sumptuous to delicate pastels. New woven stripes from India come in rich earthy shades and are a welcome addition to the range. Country Garden Quilts is constructed rather like a cookery book with a sumptuous photo of the finished project, an ingredients list and written instructions illustrated with coloured diagrams, plus a 'flat shot' photo and all the templates needed.

This book is not intended to be a manual. There are a lot of how-to books readily available if one needs a reference book. Rather this is a journey through the garden and beyond. It is full of tips and advice for green and low maintenance gardening, landscaping and lawn care but it is mostly a journal of life in and around the garden; past, long past and present. It was written to tell the story of not only the authors life in and around the garden but that of the garden, the wildlife that shares it and the land itself.
