Despite being one of the most common gardening styles in Britain and other parts of the world, this is the first colour book on woodland gardening with acid-loving plants. The book has an international scope from China and Japan to Australia and New Zealand to UK and the continent of Europe and to North America, tracing the cross-cultural influences of this gardening form. The book examines design and planning in the woodland garden, including colour, contrasts, foliage effects, the use of bridges, statues, and the borrowed landscape. The gardens featured include Inverewe, Dawyck, Glendoick, Branklyn, Bodnant, Exbury, Leonardslee, Caerhays, Mount Stewart, Mount Usher, Mount Congreve, (UK & Ireland), Le Vasterival, Bremen Rhododendron Park, Vico Morcote, Villa Taranto (Europe), Bloedel Foundation, Van Dusen BG, Polly Hill Arboretum, US National Arboretum, Longwood Gardens, The Jenkins Arboretum, Magnolia Plantation, The Highline, (N. America), Tokachi Millennium Garden Hokkaido, Akagi, (Japan), Emeishan, China, Emu Valley Rhododendron Garden, Olinda and Blackheath Rhododendron Garden (Australia) and Pukeiti and Maple Valley (New Zealand).

Williams, Lionel de Rothschild, Lanning Roper, Eric Savill, The Puddle family, Graham Smith, Charles Sargent, Steve Hootman, Euan & Peter Cox, Dan Hinckley, Arabella Lennox Boyd, and Dan Pearson
