The Good Gardens Guide is an exceptional resource for travelers with an interest in gardens. Not only is it the most comprehensive guide on the market, with coverage of 1,400 gardens in Britain, Ireland, and northwestern Europe, but it is also the only guide offering a detailed assessment of the quality of each garden. Every entry is pinpointed on a country road map and includes complete information on location, admission, opening times, and facilities, plus a description of the garden that highlights its best seasons and points of special interest. Additionally, each garden is carefully rated on its merits. Celebrating the Queen’s Jubilee Year, the book includes a picture section on Royal Gardens, and for those who would like to stay awhile, there is also a listing of hotels with fine gardens.
