Some of the world’s most beautiful and iconic gardens were developed on grand properties of the 'Landed Gentry', designed by master landscapers and maintained by skilled gardeners. English gardens are created with entry ways, paths, retaining walls, flower beds, pools and hedges. Flowers include the exotic, bold and beautiful lupine, veronica, hydrangea, hibiscus, and bee balm. Vine-covered arbors, arches overgrown with roses, herbs and edibles like mint and rosemary create quiet places to sit and relax. This publication, 'English Gardens - The Estates', is a joy to view and read about some of England’s grandest horticulture in cultured society.
