The Gardens of William Morris
by John Simmons
The founder of the Arts & Crafts movement, William Morris drew enormous inspiration from nature in the creation of his intricate patterns. Yet until the publication of this book, few people have realized the enormous impact he had on the evolution of the English garden. In fact, it was Morris who so inspired Gertrude Jekyll that she tamed her attention to the garden. Exploring the gardens Morris designed at his three homes and his factory, this lively mix of biography, anecdote and horticultural information details Morris's influence on garden design from the nineteenth century to today. The text draws greatly on Morris's lectures, poetry, and prose to illuminate his thoughts on gardening. The book also describes the native plants Morris included in his designs. Over forty plants -- all of which are readily available in the United States and Canada -- are pictured, and their growing habits defined in full. The interplay of nature and art is a highlight of the book which features over fifty examples of Morris's works, as well as paintings by Burne-Jones, Millais, and Rossetti shown side-by-side with the plants that inspired them.

Gardening Mad
by Monty Don
Humorous, charmingly idiosyncratic, full of trenchant observations and great tips, Monty Don entertains and educates the arm-chair gardener and the passionate life-long gardener alike. His essays are complimented by the exquisite photographs of Fleur Olby, which capture the sensuality of plants and flowers with an unusually striking grace. Composed around the calendar year, this visually stunning book covers a great melange of subjects, including Valentine Roses, Novice Gardening, Apples, Red!, New Age Gardening, Christmas Trees, and Neighbors. Don writes about gardening as an experience, rather than a particular science, integrating hard work, vitality, and esprit in a enthusiastic examination of the gardening life.
