Great Britain: David & Charles, 1988. Hardback. First Edition. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. In this celebration of the monastery garden the authors trace the fascinating history and look at a wide variety of gardens and themes - always bearing in mind those who want to get the best out of a visit, and those ever eager to gain hints on design and methods for their own garden. With the aid of specially prepared plans, drawings, and photographs the book illustrates the growth and importance of individual and communal gardens at monastic establishments up to the time of the disolution while tracing the history of monastic influence, much of the information being based on original research. Bringing the story up to date, the authors provide an excellent guide to those sites offering much that is new to the observant vivistor today. There are also lists of the types of plants grown and used (in monastic days), a gazetteer of sites to visit and what to look for, and a glossary of monastic terms. This thematic and inspirational study of bygone days is specifically aimed at the practical benefit of today's reader.

But how well founded are our preconceptions in fact? In this maj or study new research combines with glorious illustrations to dem onstrate for the first time how historic gardens were originally conceived, and how they have changed. The gardens today are seen to be a fascinating overlay through time of changing ideas and at titudes. The evidence unearthed suggests that formality is the ce ntral and enduring tradition of Western garden design, that it wa s still vigorously alive in the eighteenth century, and that its relation to the landscape garden has been consistently misjudged. In some gardens, the original planting has disappeared, while ot hers have been meticulously restored; indeed, traditional categor ies prove insufficient to describe them, for a Baroque garden may actually be a re-interpretation from the 1930s. In the course of his wide-ranging investigation, Mark Laird draws on archival sou rces - maps, plans, published and unpublished descriptions - and his own horticultural expertise to look afresh at over fifty of t he finest surviving gardens in Europe and the United States. All the major styles - Renaissance, Mannerist, Baroque, Regence, Roco co - are represented, along with nineteenth- and twentieth-centur y revivals. The author is one of the most original garden histori ans writing today, and in Hugh Palmer, the photographer, he has f ound an eye and knowledge to match his reputation. The sumptuous color photographs are supplemented by over one hundred rare histo rical plans and views to show how the gardens changed through his tory. Additional reference material includes a gazetteer of sites , a glossary of planting terms and full bibliographies. Editoria l Reviews From Library Journal We all have an immediate image of the formal garden as a triumph of man's architectural designs ov er unruly Nature, but this is not as precise a distinction as one would think. The restored formal garden reflects original planni ng of the past and modifications resulting from later interpretat ions. Drawing upon a wide array of archival material, horticultur al historian Laird explores gardens both as they were and as they are. The wide diversity of formal gardens, from country to count ry and era to era, becomes immediately apparent in the excellent illustrations and descriptions; the interplay of nature and art, of freedom and formality, echo the role that gardens play in soci ety. This book is a fine example of scholarly research that is bo th a source for further study and an inspiration to gardeners.
