Some English Gardens is vintage collection of watercolour paintings whose subjects are real contemporary English gardens. The English Garden is a style of landscape garden that first appeared in England in the early eighteenth century and categorised by a idealized view of nature. For each painting in this volume there is provided interesting information about the location, with descriptions of the garden, its flowers, how and why it was laid out, and much more. This volume will appeal to lovers of watercolour and those with an interest in traditional English gardens. Contents include: Brockenhurst , Hollyhocks at Blyborough , Great Tangley Manor , Bulwick Hall , Bramham , Berkley Castle , Summer Flowers , The Yew Alley, Rockingham , Brympton , Balcaskie , Crather Castle , Kellie Castle , Hardwick , Montacute , Ramscliffe , etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that 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.
