Anotace knihy

This is the third book in the best-selling series by BBC garden-writer and broadcaster Tony Russell on the finest gardens of the British Isles. In this book he travels to Wales, which is home to a remarkable collection of unique and beautiful gardens. Through sensitive text and evocative photography Tony captures the very essence of the fifty finest gardens in the Principality, providing the reader with a unique understanding of each garden's history, personalities, design, plants and architecture. From the mountains of Snowdonia to Swansea Bay and from the Isle of Anglesey to the Wye Valley, Wales is a country of contrasts; something clearly portrayed in this splendid book. Here you will find sympathetically restored ninteenth-century gardens such as Plas Cadnant and Aberglasney alongside modern-day horticultural masterpieces including The National Botanic Garden of Wales and the recently created world's largest garden maze - situated in the breath-taking scenery of the Conwy Valley. British Empire inspired gardens are here in abundance including Bodnant, Plas Newydd and Plas Tan Y Bwlch, so too the superb plant collections of Powys Castle and Dyffryn. However no book on Welsh gardens would be complete without the inclusion of the stuff of wild imagination and fairy-tale, the Italianesque landscapes of Portmeirion, the Alice-in-Wonderland-like garden rooms, follies and topiary of Plas Brondanw and the labyrinths, grottoes and sunken ferneries of Dewstow. All the gardens featured in this book are open to the public for at least part of each year. The Finest Gardens in Wales raises the bar for books on Welsh gardens and will undoubtedly become a tried and tested favourite for those who live in Wales as well as those who spend their holidays in this glorious part of the British Isles. Also in this series The Cotswolds' Finest Garden; The Finest Gardens of South-West England
