Hidcote: The Making of a Garden

A new and enlarged edition of the standard reference on an internationally revered English garden and its designer.
Known internationally as the epitome of the classic English country garden, it is perhaps less well known that Hidcoteâ€™s creator was an enigmatic American. Lawrence Johnston, an expatriate and one of the so-called â€œHenry James Americans,â€ a pedigreed member of old New York, left no diaries or significant correspondence. What he did leave, however, is a garden that continues to inspire horticulturists, gardening enthusiasts, and everyone who appreciates the beauty of nature.

First published in 1989, the book was the first biography of Johnston; for this revised and enlarged edition Clarke, the author of 15 books on landscape history and gardening, has collected much new, original material that illuminates the creation of the garden and presents Johnstonâ€™s life in the context of the period that set the seal on Englandâ€™s preeminence in garden design and plantsmanship. 150 color, black & white illustrations
