The English Landscape Garden

Recently published, The English Landscape Garden book by Tim Richardson is a must read for anyone interested in the most beautiful of English landscapes.

This is the first modern book to celebrate, illustrate and elucidate what is arguably the greatest artform that Britain has. A sumptuous, beautifully photographed volume, The English Landscape Garden presents the twenty greatest surviving landscape gardens, which are now conserved and can be visited by the public.

The official book launch took place recently at The Garden Museum. The Garden Museum is in the church of St Mary’s of Lambeth, just next to Lambeth Palace, and was saved from demolition to become the Garden Museum. The Garden Museum holds artworks, designs, portraits, tools and even garden gnomes – all relating to the history of gardening. The Museum’s collection includes a painting of Painshill. It is a fascinating place to visit. Click below to see the painting and to find out more about The Garden Museum.

The English Landscape Garden by Tim Richardson is now available to purchase in Painshill’s Gift Shop.
