"Some English Gardens" is vintage collection of watercolour paintings whose subjects are real contemporary English gardens. The English Garden is a style of landscape garden that first appeared in England in the early eighteenth century and categorised by a idealized view of nature. For each painting in this volume there is provided interesting information about the location, with descriptions of the garden, its flowers, how and why it was laid out, and much more. This volume will appeal to lovers of watercolour and those with an interest in traditional English gardens. Contents include: "Brockenhurst", "Hollyhocks at Blyborough", "Great Tangley Manor", "Bulwick Hall", "Bramham", "Berkley Castle", "Summer Flowers", "The Yew Alley, Rockingham", "Brympton", "Balcaskie", "Crather Castle", "Kellie Castle", "Hardwick", "Montacute", "Ramscliffe", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the history of gardening.

Gertrude Jekyll (1843–1932) was one of the most influential garden designers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Skilled as a painter and in many forms of handicrafts, she found her metier in the combination of her artistic skills with considerable botanical knowledge. Having been collecting and breeding plants, including Mediterranean natives, since the 1860s, she began writing for William Robinson's magazine, The Garden, in 1881, and together they are regarded as transforming English horticultural method and design: Jekyll herself received over 400 design commissions in Britain, and her few surviving gardens are treasured today. Like Robinson's, her designs were informal and more natural in style than earlier Victorian fashions. In this, the first of fourteen books, published in 1899, she stresses the importance of being inspired by nature, and sums up her philosophy of gardening: 'planting ground is painting a landscape with living things'.

Gertrude Jekyll (1843–1932), the distinguished and influential garden designer of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, originally trained as an artist but later turned her hand to craftwork, gardening, and plant collecting and breeding. During her career she collaborated with distinguished architects such as Sir Edwin Lutyens and reached a popular audience through the publication of articles in newspapers and magazines such as William Robinson's The Garden. Jekyll's second book, first published in 1890, is a collection of her advice and reflections on a range of topics, particularly those relating to her own home, Munstead Wood. It contains chapters on particular plants, and gives guidance on projects such as building rock gardens, as well as more idiosyncratic pieces on her cats, or the importance of one's own tools. Jekyll's informal tone and the range of topics discussed make this a fascinating work of social and gardening history.
