Description: Lost Gardens of the World by Sandra Lawrence, Lucille Clerc Lost Gardens of the World is an illustrated, romantic look at the great gardens of history that are now lost. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A romantic illustrated journey through forty captivating gardens lost to time.All over the world, once-flourishing horticultural spaces have been abandoned and forgotten. From the once-crumbling grandeur of the Villa dEste and the magic of the Lost Gardens of Heligan, to the sculptural surrealism of Las Pozas and the colourful rebirth of Le Jardin Majorelle, there are countless gardens around the world with fascinating stories to tell. Author and journalist Sandra Lawrence takes readers on a tour of 40 horticultural gems from around the world that have been lost either through neglect, abandonment or destruction. Many have been consigned to history, never to be seen again, while others have been revived and restored by the care and dedication of new owners and communities. These marvels of horticulture take many forms: stately homes, floating allotments, roof gardens and more. But all of them have one thing in common: the romance of paradise lost.Featuring commissioned illustrations of each garden by renowned artist Lucille Clerc, this book is a celebration of our love of nature, and the importance of keeping these oases of green alive and well - if not in reality, then at least on the page.These charming gardens are brought back to life, including:The Lost Gardens of Heligan, EnglandLas Pozas, MexicoLe Jardin Majorelle, MoroccoThe Garden of Dreams, NepalVilla dEste, ItalyPaleis Het Loo, NetherlandsCrowninshield Garden, USADiscover the remarkable stories behind thecreation, decline and occasional rebirth of these astonishing spaces, and meet the people and societies that first created and enjoyed them.The perfect gift for garden lovers, armchair travellers and cultural enthusiasts.
