A tour of some of the UK’s most beguiling gardens in the counties of Kent, Sussex and Surrey, the counties that exemplify ‘the garden of England’.
In these three counties a wealth of history and horticulture has combined with geography in the shape of
rolling landscapes, wooded valleys and
meandering waterways , to provide
an attractive and fascinating collection .
They are in villages and towns, as well as in deep countryside, and all are privately owned. Some have been in the possession of the same family for
many generations , while others have recently been
transformed by new owners . Some open for the National Garden Scheme, while others are open privately and in some cases for just the occasional day for charity.
The stunning gardens explored in this visually rich guide include:
Arundel Castle, Denmans, Gravetye Manor, Munstead Wood and
Sussex Prairie Garden . The book also includes a
gazetteer of other important gardens in the area with location advice, to enable readers to plan a more elaborate tour of this fertile garden area.
Filled with
stunning, specially commissioned photographs by Clive Boursnell, Secret Gardens of the South East is a unique guide that opens the gates to the most intriguing gardens in this part of England.
