About this title

Synopsis

The late David Hicks was one of the great designers of the 20th century. He is primarily known for his interior design, but he was also involved with carpets, jewellery, fabrics, furniture, wallpaper, sheets and gardens. His approach was dictatorial and uncompromising and he did not mince his words. What he seeks to impart in this book is "style" and it is very much a style of his own. "My Kind of Garden" is illustrated with photographs by Dana Hyde of gardens designed by David Hicks.

Review

My favourite book of the season, this book is hard to beat. One of the best things about My Kind of Garden, in contrast with most gardening books, is that the words are few and never boring--Daily Telegraph
