Garden People
Valerie Finnis and the Golden Age of Gardening
(Autor) Ursula BuchanA glorious photographic record of the postwar English gardening scene by one of the people at its epicentre. Roald Dahl and his family in their garden at Great Missenden; Nancy Lancaster, society hostess and interior designer, sporting an elegant straw sombrero and snipping delicately at her roses; Vita Sackville-West at Sissinghurst - these and many other dedicated gardeners are captured here by the discerning eye of Valerie Finnis. With a spectacular cast of characters at home in their gardens, weeding, inspecting, watering and standing proudly by their plants, wearing the clothes and fashions of the day, and epitomizing life and society in the second half of the 20th century, this book will be devoured by anyone with a love of British gardens or horticulture in general.
