Win A Copy Of Great Gardens of London

/ David Marsden

Who doesn’t like a big bumper book of gardens?  Well, me for one.  And if you do too here’s a fine portrait of 25 London gardens.

Great Gardens of London

‘Great Gardens of London’ by Victoria Summerly was published by Frances Lincoln on 1st October.  If you’d like the chance to win a copy, I’ll tell you how to enter the draw right after this press release:

“Open House and Open Garden days have become a regular fixture of our annual calendar and London’s gardeners are twice blessed living in one of the world’s most vibrant and verdant capitals.

In Great Gardens of London Victoria Summerley, Hugo Rittson Thomas and Marianne Majerus collaborate to unearth the most fascinating stories of plants and people inside London’s most exciting garden spaces, gaining extraordinary access to the finest gardens around the capital, many rarely or never open to the public.

While some of the gardens are strictly private others regularly open to visitors – all can now be savoured and enjoyed as Great Gardens of London opens the gates to more than 25 traditional and quirky capital gardens, delightfully themed by chapter and all accompanied by stunning photographs, revealing the designer’s influences, providing an insight into the passions and fashions of modern gardening where any green space is cultivated and confirming you can find an oasis on every piece of dry land the city has available.

Gardens of every imaginable style, shape and size abound in London – on rooftops, within palaces, surrounding churches, behind walls, even floating on or lapped by the River Thames. From Downing Street to Twickenham, from modernist to wildlife, ‘Great Gardens of London offers exemplary contemporary and historic design and planting secrets from which to learn and be inspired.”

  22. How timely you are, David. My big news is that, in March, we will be moving to, well, London! Gosh. Wasn’t in our game plan but an opportunity presented itself and it’s really quite exciting (if very sad to be leaving this amazing country). So, I’d really, really love to win that book!
