Virginia Woolf's Garden: The Story of the Garden at Monk's House - Caroline Zoob - Bog - Quarto Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Virginia Woolf's Garden: The Story of the Garden at Monk's House - Caroline Zoob - Bog - Quarto Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This chronological account takes you through the key events in the lives of Virginia and Leonard Woolf through a history of their home, Monk’s House in Sussex, where Virginia wrote most of her major novels. The story of this magical garden includes selected quotations from the writings of the Woolfs which reveal how important a role the garden played in their lives, as a source of both pleasure and inspiration. Bought by them in 1919 as a country retreat, Monk's House was somewhere they came to read, write and work in the garden. Virginia wrote first in a converted tool shed, and later in her purpose-built wooden writing lodge tucked into a corner of the orchard. Enriched with rare archive images and embroidered garden plans, the book takes the reader on a journey through the various garden ‘rooms’, (including the Italian Garden, the Fishpond Garden, the Millstone Terrace and the Walled Garden), each presented in the context of the lives of the Woolfs, with fascinating glimpses into their daily routines at Rodmell.

Melbourne Hall Garden - Jodie Jones - Bog - Quarto Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Melbourne Hall Garden - Jodie Jones - Bog - Quarto Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Explore the famous historical gardens of Melbourne Hall, widely considered one of the most treasured historical gardens in England. The garden is admired for its natural tunnel made up of the sweeping branches of an ancient yew tree , as well as its wrought iron arbour created by Robert Bakewell (known as the ‘ Birdcage ’, which made Bakewell famous, but also left him penniless). There have been few radical alterations to the gardens since the early 18th century. However, in the earlier part of the 20th century, extensive restoration was carried out. Now home to Lord and Lady Ralph Kerr , the garden remains a beautifully kept treasure. Lady Kerr has developed the garden and her eye for colour and detail means that the Melbourne Garden is a haven of delightful and unusual specimen trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders . Although still very much an 18th-century garden, the new planting schemes have introduced greater botanical interest. Covering both the early history and more recent developments under its current owners, this stunning book contains numerous specially commissioned images by renowned garden photographer Andrea Jones, which show this spectacular garden through the seasons.
