WINTER GARDENS by Cedric Pollet (Frances Lincoln £30)

IN WINTER, gardens are often overlooked — we tend to think of them as barren, soggy and a little bit sad. Either that or (hopefully) covered in a blanket of snow. But photographer Cedric Pollet is trying to change all that. In his fabulous new book, Pollet showcases the rich palettes, luminous colours and fierce evergreens that populate nature at its nippiest. Featuring more than 20 breathtaking gardens in the UK and France, including the beautiful Jardin du Bois Marquis (above), it will have you pulling on your wellies before you’ve even put it down.
