Head Gardeners

Head Gardeners by Ambra Edwards, published by Pimpernel Press in 2017.

What is Britain's greatest contribution to world culture? Ambra Edwards suggests it is the garden. It is an art form we have made peculiarly our own, and which we have been exporting to the rest of the world for the last three centuries. It is also an important economic contributor. Sixty per cent of National Trust members say they join up first and foremost to enjoy the gardens, while Britain's gardens bring in visitors from all over the world. Gardens are hugely important to us. Yet by their very nature they are mutable. What makes them (and keeps them) special is the input of the people who look after them. These are the head gardeners.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves gardening.
