A true and delightful indulgence is a gardening book for me.
I have an avid interest in seeing, learning and doing, as gardening is my passion.
To be taken on whirlwind trip around the world to see gardens and landscapes is just simply marvellous.
Each of the showcased gardens has a written piece reflecting the location, history and the general makeup of each garden and is accompanied by a delightful pictorial selection.
Some of the featured delights are well known and are iconic in the botanical world while others are not.
I was pleased to see the Australian candidates doing our nation proud and reflecting our somewhat difficult growing environments.
Structured in a way that reflects the grand, the innovative and the urban oasis’s, it keeps the reader entertained.
The pictures are not really of high gloss standard sadly but good enough to see the sheer beauty.
An enticing and exquisite cover invites everybody to pick it up and have a flick through, making it the perfect coffee table book.
I was personally thrilled to see one of my all time favourite gardens featured, Monet’s Giverny.
Bringing back the memories of the warm sunshine, perfume and floral abundance I enjoyed seeing some time ago.

Would love to so have seen larger format photographs. I don't think I've been to any of these gardens -- but might see the one in Victoria, BC in September...

I loved the "Wild" and "Innovators" sections; the rest of the gardens didn't do much for me. Maybe I just don't get the whole topiary and massive grounds style of garden, but I think they're ugly and a waste of space. I would so much rather see all that area used for wildflowers, vegetables, native plants, etc.
