SECRET GARDENS OF THE SOUTH EAST BY BARBARA SEGALL £22

● Take a tour of 20 of the most inspirational and beguiling privately-owned gardens of Kent, Sussex and Surrey. Sumptuously illustrated, locations encompass the crème de la crème of late 19th century to latter day creations. Gardens of Edwardian luminaries such as Gertrude Jekyll are profiled at Munstead Wood and William Robinson at Gravetye Manor. These mingle with latter day designers such as John Brookes at Denmans Garden and Anthony Paul at the Hannah Peschar Sculpture garden, as well as the Sussex Prairie Garden and Balmoral Cottage. The book concludes with visitor information and location details of others in the area to visit. Frances Lincoln
