'A dazzling array of thirty-three Englishmen, including couturier Hardy Amies, choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton, scientist Sir Bernard Lovell, writers Hugh Johnson, Christopher Lloyd, Beverley Nichols and Graham Thomas, architects Jeremy Benson and Sir Frederick Gibberd and politicians Lord Blakenham, Nicholas Ridley and Lord Lambton, allow us a rare glimpse into some of the most individual gardens of England. ...Each garden is described by its owner: the plans and gestation, the planting and eventual coming to fruition.'
