The word ‘pastoral’ conjures up visions of Hardyesque landscapes, wild and untainted, the antithesis of manicured garden perfection. This gorgeous book shows us how we can harness nature in our own gardens, exploring 20 gardens that embrace this bucolic ideal. Created by leading landscape designers, these gardens respond directly to the beauty of our natural habitats, with wildflower meadows and grazing cattle integrated into holistic spaces where the boundaries between a conventional garden and the wider landscape disappear.
