Offering rare insights and tips on planting, design, and landscaping, this book is a must-have for garden lovers, professionals, and English heritage enthusiasts.

This collector’s edition includes, gathered in an additional volume, an exclusive collection of Tom’s drawings, which have long formed an integral part of his design process. The two volumes are brought together in a beautifully designed slipcase.
