Excerpt from Gardens for Small Country Houses Within eighteen months of its first issue the need has arisen to print a third edition of Gardens for Small Country Houses. This seems proof enough that the volume, concerned chiefly as it is with problems of garden design, has filled a place, hitherto empty, on the bookshelves of the garden-loving public. The opportunity afforded by the second edition was taken to expand the introductory chapter by including in it some further examples of gardens, notable either for the apt use which has'been made of a hillside site, as at Markyate Cell and Owlpen Manor, or for the possibilities of a walled enclosure, as at Edzell, or of topiary work in a limited space, as at Bridge End, Saffron Walden. The measured drawings of these gardens which are now reproduced were not completed in time for the first edition, but their inclusion (especially in the case of the hillside examples) has added much to the practical value of the book. For this edition fewer alterations have been made, but some further notes on plants for rock gardens have been added to Chapter XXI.

“Gardens for Small Country Houses” is a wonderful guide to English country gardens by Gertrude Jekyll and Lawrence Weaver. It offers useful information and guidance on designing and creating beautiful country gardens with reference to real examples, complete with descriptions, photographs, ground plans, and diagrams. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in traditional English country gardening, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: “Millmead, Bramley, Surrey”, “Two Gardens in Forest Clearings”, “A Garden in Berkshire”, “Westbrook, Godalming”, “A Garden in West Surrey”, “Highmount, Guildford”, “The Treatment of Small Sites”, “On Hillside Garden”, “Steps and Stairways”, “Balustrades and Walls”, “Climbing and Other Plants”, etc. Gertrude Jekyll (1843 – 1932) was a British garden designer, horticulturist, photographer, craftswoman, artist, and writer. She is responsible for designing and creating over 400 gardens in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States, as well as writing more than 1,000 articles for related magazines. She is credited with having had a significant influence on gardening by both British and American enthusiasts. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.

There is something special about the English country house garden: from its quiet verdant lawns to its high yew hedges, this is a style much-desired and copied around the world. The English country house is most often conceived as a private, intimate place, a getaway from working life. A pergola, a sundial, a croquet lawn, a herbaceous border of soft planting; here is a space to wander and relax, to share secrets, and above all to enjoy afternoon tea. But even the most peaceful of gardens also take passion and hard work to create. This new book takes a fresh look at the English country house garden, starting with the owners and the stories behind the making of the gardens. Glorious photographs capture the gardens at their finest moments through the seasons, and a sparkling and erudite text presents twenty-five gardens - some grand, some personal, some celebrated, some never-before-photographed - to explore why this garden style has been so very enduring and influential. From the Victorian grandeur of Tyntesfield and Cragside, to the Arts & Crafts simplicity of Rodmarton Manor and Charleston; from Scampston, in the same family since the 17th century, to new gardens by Dan Pearson and Tom Stuart-Smith; and with favourites such as Hidcote and Great Dixter alongside new discoveries, this book will be a delicious treat for garden-lovers.
