Originally published in 1913, Garden Craft In Europe is a fascinating and detailed history of garden design.
Celebrated architect and designer H Inigo Triggs (1876-1923) takes readers on a search for horticultural perfection that crosses the continent and spans the centuries. From the shrines and fruit-trees surrounding Roman villas to Lancelot 'Capability' Brown's elegantly landscaped 18th-century estates and from the herbalist wisdom behind the formal beds of medieval monastic gardens to the graceful arches and fountains of Moorish Grenada, Garden Craft In Europe shows how great garden designers have used landscaping, plants, ornaments and water to create a style for every time and place.

Illustrated throughout with black and white photos and garden plans, Garden Craft In Europe is an informative and inspiring read for garden lovers everywhere.
