Giant coffee table book which weighs a ton!

Text light tour of 100 English gardns lavishly illustrated with hundreds and hundreds of top calss photos of gardens throughout the year. Packed cover to cover with inspiration and ideas which can be scaled down and adapted to smaller gardens.

A great read on cold grey winter days for planning out future works on the garden!
