About this title

Review:

Autumn--famously viewed by John Keats as a season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Viewed through the lens of photographer Jonathan Buckley, however, the mists have risen to reveal the most magical and regal of seasons. Every page of this glorious book comes alive with vibrancy and painterly detail. Our eyes are opened anew to the rich colour palette from which autumnal landscapes are created ... nothing mellow here!

Horticultural expert Ethne Clarke shows enthusiasts how to extend the beauty and interest of their gardens throughout this fecund but often neglected time of year. The book is divided into five sections focusing on aspects such as colour and form, selecting individual plants, harvesting, elements which create the garden's framework and care advice for autumn plants. Practical recommendations are made for adopting planting schemes which will enliven and delight until the onset of winter. Autumn Gardens also includes plenty of back to basics gardening advice on preparation, planning and maintenance taking into account gardens of all shapes, sizes and styles.

This lovingly crafted book contains some truly vivid and poetic descriptions of autumn's natural treasures. The colourful text is accompanied by the most dazzling array of photographic evidence of nature as pure art. As a celebration of colour, texture, form and foliage Autumn Gardens would grace any garden enthusiast's bookshelf. A beautiful gift to give and receive. --Nicola Hollins
