The Garden at Hidcote

by Fred Whitsey, photographs by Tony Lord

Fred Whitsey recounts how the enigmatic American Lawrence Johnston created Hidcote, one of the most beautiful and influential gardens in England, and how the garden achieved such significance that in 1948 it became the first  to be taken into the care of The National Trust. Illustrated with magnificent color photographs by Tony Lord, this book offers a full tour of Hidcote, with views of the French-style hedges, the Italianate suites of rooms, the woodland glades and flower borders, and much more. Whitsey shows how for all its sophistication and size, Hidcote has much to teach the home gardener.
