The English garden

Description:

"This book traces the shape of the English garden from the small, circular enclosures of our Celtic ancestors to the small, rectangular enclosure of the present day . . . The book also charts the stream of foreign plants from the gentle trickle of mediaeval times to the roaring flood of the nineteenth century . . . The English Garden presents the pursuit of gardening in England as a pastime of pleasure, and shows how the gardens of the day reflected the society, and the architectures, of the time." -- Book jacket.
