I bought this book for $1 at my local library. The gardens are amazing, all in England, part of the National Trust. If you are a garden lover and are ever in England, before you go, check out this book and make plans to visit some of these gardens. It's not about flowers but about yew hedges, knot gardens, mazes, and topiary. Some of the gardens are hundreds of years old and the settings are as stunning as the gardens.
