100 20TH CENTURY GARDENS AND LANDSCAPES

A showcase of extraordinary British gardens and landscapes, from the Arts and Crafts movement and the garden city, through the landscapes created for mid-century housing, to the low-maintenance gardens of the 1980s and contemporary trends for community and wildlife gardens. Designers and architects such as Piet Oudolf, Charles Jencks, Vita Sackville-West and Gertrude Jekyll are featured, alongside essays on the history of gardens, planting styles, the importance of modern landscapes, and the career of Geoffrey Jellicoe.
