A romantic illustrated journey through forty captivating gardens lost to time.
All over the world, once-flourishing horticultural spaces have been abandoned and forgotten. From the once-crumbling grandeur of the Villa d'Este and the magic of the Lost Gardens of Heligan, to the sculptural surrealism of Las Pozas and the colourful rebirth of Le Jardin Majorelle, there arecountless gardens around the world with fascinating stories to tell.
Author and journalist Sandra Lawrence takes readers ona tour of 40 horticultural gems from around the world that have been lost either through neglect, abandonment or destruction. Many have been consigned to history, never to be seen again, while others have been revived and restored by the care and dedication of new owners and communities. These marvels of horticulture take many forms: stately homes, floating allotments, roof gardens and more. But all of them have one thing in common: the romance of paradise lost.
Featuring commissioned illustrations of each garden by renowned artist Lucille Clerc, this book isa celebration of our love of nature, and the importance of keeping these oases of green alive and well - if not in reality, then at least on the page.
