Beskrivning

The Chelsea Flower Show is renowned worldwide as the home of the very best in horticulture - where designers at the very top of their game create show gardens that delight and inspire all those who love gardening. Since 2022 the crème de la crème of these gardens has been those funded by innovative charity, Project Giving Back. Founded to support good causes - large and small - in creating their own gardens at the world's best known flower show, the charity's key proviso is that the gardens should live on in some way in the community after the show, so extending their impact and the joy that they create.Gardens for Good is a gloriously illustrated and engaging account of the 60 gardens made possible by Project Giving Back and a celebration of the very best in contemporary garden design, including the work of the likes of Tom Stuart-Smith, Jo Thompson, Chris Beardshaw, Andy Sturgeon, Cleve West, Jo Thompson, Nigel Dunnett and Ula Maria. Through interviews with the designers, detailed plant lists and a wealth of specially commissioned photography, the reader can adapt the ideas featured for their own outdoor spaces and to experience the joy and good that gardening can do.
