Designed for all those who enjoy nature or are interested in cultural history, this illustrated guide takes the reader round some of the most beautiful gardens in Europe. The editors seek to capture the ephemeral qualities found in all types of garden.

Illustrated from the great palaces of Europe, from Versailles to Sans Souci, this volume provides a record and cultural history of the orangery as both an architectural gem, a society microcosm and the missing link between palace and garden.
