Description

The Landscape Garden: a quiet revolution that transformed Britain's gardens in the 18th century. Thousands of these naturalistic landscapes were created for wealthy owners, often blending seamlessly into their surroundings.

Steered by brilliant designers and visionary owners, the fashion for landscape gardens swept across the country, using water, grass, and trees to soften lines and create seemingly natural park landscapes. By the 1750s, this style had evolved into the iconic landscape parks and gardens of 'Capability' Brown, a hallmark of 18th-century garden design.

This book by garden historian Sarah Rutherford offers a definitive introduction to Britain's greatest contribution to the visual arts worldwide, part of the Britain's Heritage series. Discover the variety and beauty of landscape gardens in all their forms.
