Der englische Gärtner

With wit, wit and wisdom, the passionate gardener and famous long-time garden columnist of the "Financial Times" unfolds his unique knowledge of plants, famous gardens and the fulfilling activity of the gardener. This book is far more than a guidebook: a fantastic in-depth read for thoughtful gardeners. Robin Lane Fox, passionate gardener and celebrated garden writer, immerses us readers in British gardening tradition, forgotten knowledge of plants, and genius gardeners. Vividly, elegantly, and expertly, he describes the gardens he has visited around the world, from Normandy to Ukraine, and lets us share in an incomparable horticultural curiosity and wisdom. For the author, gardens are human creations, shaped as much by the personal character of the gardeners as by art, history, politics.
