This work serves as a guide celebrating various formal English gardens, their designs, and the principles of gardening influenced by Italian renaissance styles. The book highlights specific gardens, their creators, and the plants that thrive within structured landscapes, providing insight into the artistry involved in garden design. The opening of the book introduces the thematic elements by discussing the origins of English gardens, particularly those derived from Italian influences. It provides a historical context, explaining the transition from defensive castles surrounded by utilitarian gardens to the creation of aesthetically pleasing spaces. The first featured garden, Brockenhurst, is described in detail, emphasizing its classical design and the careful planning required to achieve a harmonious blend of statuary and plant life. Jekyll illustrates how the garden's beauty lies in its enduring structures and the thoughtfulness behind its layout, while acknowledging the ongoing responsibility of caretakers to maintain its integrity.
