In The English Gardener’s Garden, Tony Musgrave and the Phaidon editors curate an inspiring tour of more than 60 of England’s most enchanting gardens—ranging from Tudor-era classicism to visionary contemporary designs. Organized by region and enriched by an illuminating essay from garden historian Toby Musgrave, this book showcases a diverse landscape of formal parterres, lush cottage borders, botanical sanctuaries, and healing urban retreats.
Each spread offers lush photography paired with concise, engaging commentary that balances historical context and stylistic insight. You’ll explore celebrated creations by legends such as Capability Brown and Gertrude Jekyll, alongside modern marvels like Dan Pearson’s Lowther Castle and the sculptural garden at Maggie’s Centre. Whether you’re planning a real-life pilgrimage or simply love to lose yourself in green beauty on the page, this is a beautifully produced compendium that celebrates English horticultural artistry in all its forms.
