Review:
Centring on what is known as the "Garden of England", the county of Kent, author Robin Whiteman and renowned photographer Rob Talbot travel the country lanes in search of what the term actually means. Also encompassing the counties of Surrey and Sussex, they discover the wonders of the natural countryside, the Downs, forests and coastlines that make up these areas, the first part of the country to be seen by many visitors coming across the Channel by ferry or Eurotunnel. Revealing hidden gems of manicured gardens such as Wakehurst, Sissinghurst and Cowdray they also reveal lesser-known, private gardens such as Dixter, West Dean and the Royal Horticultural Societys' showpiece at Wisley. Photographed alongside are the country villages and towns, attractive churches, houses and cottages all captured in beautiful colour by Rob Talbot, giving the reader a clear picture of why and what the "Garden of England" really is. Part of the "Country Series", this is a collectable book for all those interested in our natural heritage. - Lucy Watson
