Description

This is an enlarged edition of the standard reference book, originally published in 1989. It is the major study of Hidcote, the world famous garden created by Lawrence Johnston, an American straight out the pages of Henry James. Now Ethne Clarke has collected much new and original material that freshly illuminates the creation of the garden and presents Johnston's life in the context of the period that set the seal on England's pre-eminence in garden design and plantsmanship. In addition to seasonal lists of plants associated with Hidcote, the book also features new information about Johnston's other major work, Serre de la Madonne, now a French national monument.
