Pippa Hornby: The English Kitchen Garden, Gebunden

Klappentext

The English Kitchen Garden explores a rich variety of English gardens where cultivation, design, and daily life are closely intertwined. From the celebrated grounds of Highgrove Gardens to the more intimate setting of Dean Manor, the book reveals how fruit, vegetables, herbs, flowers, and ornamental planting can be combined to create gardens of beauty, character, and purpose. Spanning some of Britain's most admired gardens, the book shows the many ways productive gardening can be interpreted and elevated. These are gardens where kitchen plots, greenhouses, fruit cages, and flower-filled borders are central to the life of the house, and where ornament and utility exist in thoughtful balance. Sweet Peas and Strawberries is a portrait of a way of living---rooted in seasonality, cultivation, and a close relationship to nature. Eva Nemeth's photography vividly captures the atmosphere of these gardens, bringing their abundance and beauty to life.
