Tim Richardson 
Cambridge College Gardens [EPUB ebook] 

This guide takes you on an illustrated tour of the very best of the gardens of the University of Cambridge,  some of the most beautiful, unique and historical horticultural spaces of any University around the world.



For students and alumni, their families, Cambridge locals and for lovers of private gardens, Tim Richardson’s book on the
most exquisite gardens in and around the university of Cambridge’s colleges combines
brilliant research and
 elegant prose with
stunning photography by Clive Boursnell.



Following on the heels of
Oxford College Gardens, this book invites an armchair appreciation of the
history, horticulture and
atmosphere that these hallowed gardens provide.



The gardens are as
rich and varied as the colleges themselves, often set within
stunning architecture , and include formal quadrangles, naturalistic planting, walled gardens, rooftop oases, productive plots and watermeadows as well as the private spaces enjoyed exclusively by the college masters, porters and fellows.



Allow this
sumptuously illustrated book to take you on a dreamlike tour of these truly unique gardens, and
drink in the atmosphere of one of the world’s most beautiful universities.
