Coton Manor Garden was voted winner of the UK's Favorite Garden in 2022 by garden visitors in conjunction with the English Garden magazine and National Gardens Scheme.
This beautifully illustrated book shows how it has achieved this coveted status. Owner and hands-on gardener Susie Pasley-Tyler charts how her passion for gardening developed and imparts the knowledge learnt, mistakes made and above all the sheer delight to be gained from this creative and restorative pastime.
Occuping a hillside position extending down from the seventeenth-century manor house, the 10-acre garden delights plant enthusiasts with its luxuriant borders providing color and interest throughout the seasons, while all visitors enjoy its charm and tranquil atmosphere. Beyond the garden is a magical 5-acre bluebell wood and exuberant 3-acre wildflower meadow. The author describes in detail how the garden has evolved since she and her husband, Ian, inherited the estate over thirty years ago, and her thinking behind its many and varied sites.
Experienced and novice gardeners alike will be encouraged and enlightened by her account of being at the helm of one of the finest gardens in England.
