Although still very much an 18th-century garden, the new planting schemes have introduced greater botanical interest.Covering both the early history and more recent developments under its current owners, this stunning book contains numerous specially commissioned images by renowned garden photographer Andrea Jones, which show this spectacular garden through the seasons.…
