I have read one other book in the Secret Gardens series (of Somerset by Abigail Willis) and both books offer such a wide range of information. The photography in this volume is wonderful and we learn about the locations as well as the people. Along the way we learn about what goes into deciding what to plant, which often serves as tips for the reader.
I don't remember where I first learned about the ways in which wild or natural gardens have come into a certain popularity, but the gardens (or parts of some) that fit this description appeal quite a bit to me. While the manicured gardens are certainly beautiful, their beauty, visually, is fairly simple. For those with more horticultural knowledge the beauty is likely far deeper. But the natural gardens, while initially a little less eye-catching, take on a beauty of their own. We have to more actively engage with the plant life and the contours of the land, but once you find your bearings, they are very beautiful.
I would recommend this to anyone interested in gardens for their beauty or those interested in the horticulture behind a well-kept garden.
