The Landscape Garden: the quiet but startling national revolution that overthrew the parterres, avenues and canals of formal French-inspired gardens littering Britain by the 1720s. Then the drive took hold country-wide, steered by brilliant designers and visionary owners, to soften lines and create natural-looking planted park landscapes. This was on a huge scale, and all done by hand. Discover the most important designers and places, including those we can still visit today. Illustrated with historic images and photographs of gardens today. Boxes give potted biographies of key designers, and insights into personalities and features.
