Gardens of the Arts and Crafts Movement

A thorough revision of Judith Tankard’s highly praised study of gardens from the Arts and Crafts movement - a style that remains popular more than a century after it started. Gardens of the Arts and Crafts Movement traces the development of the Arts and Crafts garden, which culminated in the work of William Robinson and Gertrude Jekyll. Judith Tankard shows hundreds of examples and provides fascinating details about the gardens and their makers. The new edition features even more gardens and has a chapter on how to incorporate Arts and Crafts features into a modern garden. Approximately one-third of the book consists of new material.
