In a unique and remarkable pictorial survey, Mark Griffiths tells the story of gardening in the twentieth century, with special emphasis on British, North American, Western European, Chinese and Japanese gardens. Over 300 photographs - a mixture of black-and-white and colour - have been chosen for their humour, charm, aesthetic, curiosity and historical value. Some are hauntingly beautiful, others remarkably rare. Arranged chronologically, the photographs are each accompanied by an explanatory caption.
