Full Description
Secret Gardens of Somerset offers a personal tour of 20 of the UK's most beguiling gardens in this much-loved area of southern England, defined by its distinctive horticulture, rolling hills, picturesque villages and traditional English landscape.
Abigail Willis and Clive Boursnell give you privileged access to 20 gardens, from a highly productive working flower farm to very personal private retreats, revealing their history, design and plant collections, in the company of their devoted owners and head gardeners.
In the footsteps of artists and trend-setters - from Victorian designers such as Harold Peto, to planting visionary, Gertrude Jekyll as well as contemporary pioneer Piet Oudolf -we find a series of stunning country gardens of different sizes and atmospheres. Explore the bountiful snowdrops of East Lambrook Manor, the naturalistic Oudolf Field at Hauser & Wirth, and get an insider's view of the World's Best Boutique Hotel, The Newt.
