Arne Maynard is a celebrated garden designer known for his award-winning gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show and his elegant and sympathetic gardens for private houses worldwide. Central to his work is his ability to draw out the essence of a place, lending his gardens a particular sense of harmony and belonging. A passionate gardener himself, Maynard has transformed the garden around his house, Allt-y-bela, in rural Wales, which is featured in the book. It offers insights into the work in progress and Maynard's design methods. Also included is his very first garden, at Guanock House in Lincolnshire, where he spent 10 years creating a formal layout with a kitchen garden, knot garden, and herbaceous border. A total of 12 gardens have been specially photographed, and each is described through the seasons in a personal text by Maynard, including details of the brief and the plant selection. The Gardens of Arne Maynard is completed by illustrated features on various topics close to the designer's heart, such as growing and using roses, planting borders, creating productive kitchen gardens, incorporating sculpture in the garden, and training trees and shrubs.
