'The English Garden' is an illustrated survey of one hundred iconic, significant, and beautiful gardens in England, from the sixteenth century to the present day. This informative source book includes a range of gardens by designers, patrons, artists, architects, and literary figures - from Sir Edward Phelips Montacute House (1590) to today's award-winning designs and large-scale environmental creations, such as Nicholas Grimshaw's Eden Project in Cornwall (2001). 'The English Garden' is a listing of one hundred gardens organized in chronological order. Each garden has been chosen for its unique contribution to the development of English garden design throughout time. The selection covers all key styles and movements - from the Dutch-influenced gardens of the eighteenth century, such as Manyard Colchester's Westbury Court Garden (1705), and the formal gardens of the nineteenth century, like Sir Charles Barry's richly planted terrace at Harewood House (1884), to the Modernist creations of the early twentieth century and gardens by today's leading designers.
