Step inside 22 of East Anglia's most enchanting private gardens. ��Secret Gardens of East Anglia celebrates the horticultural heritage of Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex, a region defined by its big skies and extraordinary light. These natural conditions have inspired generations of garden-makers to create landscapes unlike anywhere else in Britain.��Introduced by eminent East Anglian plantswoman, Beth Chatto, this book brings each garden vividly to life through the words of respected garden writer Barbara Segall and the evocative photography of Marcus Harpur. Together, they capture the spirit of these gardens, the creator's style, their talent for exploiting the genius loci and the specific challenges and rewards they have encountered.��Featured gardens include:�Columbine Hall - a moated garden with a series of green rooms. Helmingham Hall Gardens - a gem of a garden hidden in its own moated island. Kirtling Tower - a field of daffodils for a Tudor gatehouse. The Manor House, Fenstanton - garden rooms on Capability Brown's private estate. Ulting Wick - thousands of tulips against a backdrop of black wooden barns. Winterton Lighthouse - a lush yet restrained garden framing a lighthouse. Wyken Hall - vines and roses around an Elizabethan manor house. Whether you're seeking inspiration, planning visits or simply indulging in the beauty of English gardens, this book is your perfect companion. ��Explore even more magnificent gardens with other books in the series: Secret Gardens of the Cotswolds, Secret Gardens of Somerset and Secret Gardens of Cornwall.�
