Winner of the Inspirational Book of the Year, Garden Media Guild Awards, Ambra Edwards and Charlie Hopkinson explore, in words and pictures, the lives, visions, and achievements of fourteen very different head gardeners.

Ambra Edwards' fascinating interviews showcase the diversity found in British gardens. It's a book about people and how they tick—people who happen to be gardeners.

The Times calls it an informative and eye-opening delight. Philippa Stockley, Country Life, praises it as "a visually appealing and revealing book about some remarkable people in horticulture." The author, known for her sparkling writing style and broad range of interests, has interviewed 14 head gardeners in search of some answers, teaming up with the highly empathetic and skilled photographer Charlie Hopkinson to produce this visually appealing and revealing book about some remarkable people in horticulture.

Nor is it hard to argue with her view that gardeners are undervalued by society, in status and reward. Let's hope this brilliant book goes some way to redressing that.
