England's Magnificent Gardens

How a Billion-Dollar Industry Transformed a Nation, from Charles II to Today

Roderick Floud

Demonstrating the long-standing importance of gardening to British industry, Roderick Floud investigates the cost of making and maintaining England's great outside spaces since 1660. Drawing on examples such as Stowe in Buckinghamshire and Stourhead in Wiltshire, he traces the influence of the monarchs, gentry, designers and gardeners involved in their creation, and in doing so reveals how horticulture gave rise to innovations in engineering, construction and heating. (US edition with prices in text given in dollars.) Slightly off-mint and felt-tip mark on lower trimmed edge.
