Description:Scotland is home to some of the most beautiful gardens in the world. Two centuries of enterprising botanical exploration, often to remote foreign wildernesses, have brought rare and exotic plants, trees and shrubs to these shores. This has been omplemented by a succession of innovative gardeners who have used the potential of their glorious landscape and provided the vision to make a Shangri-la for future generations.The book draws on the photographic collection compiled by Brinsley Burbridge of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to present an extensive record of Scotland's gardens. These images demonstrate both remarkable diversity and also, as Fay Young's commentary emphasises, the presence of a real sense of Scottishness. It is a presence felt at every level: in the almost sub-troptical influence of the Gulf Stream washing the Western shores and in the intimacy of the walled gardens of the wind-battered east.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
