EUROPEAN GARDEN DESIGN....
Atmospheric photography and informed text are used to trace the wide variety of gardens, which have been created throughout European art history. Gardens are idyllic refuges where we can find tranquillity, recuperation and enjoyment. The cultural history of gardens is closely bound up with man's hopes and longings. According to most of the world's creation stories, the human race began in an en-closed garden with trees, blossoms, fruits and clear springs. This passion for shaping the abundance of nature runs throughout history from the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the rich tradition of European garden design.
COTTAGE GARDENS
There is perhaps no style of garden more emotive and evocative than the cottage garden - imbued with a sense of romance, idealised by writers and painters, and so alluring to garden makers all over the world, it has been fashionable for nearly two centuries. But, today we often think of it as outdated, old fashioned, past its sell-by date. Wrong! With the hustle and bustle of today's frantic lifestyle, the cottage garden has never been more appropriate.
