Kiftsgate Court Garden by Vanessa Berridge

This book came out in 2019, and the subtitle is Three Generations of Women Gardeners.

Oh, my dears, have you ever yearned for a garden that whispers of history, a place where generations have tended and loved? Kiftsgate Court is such a haven. Imagine, a century ago, Heather Muir, with her husband, Jack, began to paint this canvas of green. They terraced the slopes, planted the tapestry hedge, and nurtured the Kiftsgate rose, a bloom so grand it's almost mythical.

Through the years, the torch of gardening has passed from mother to daughter. Heather’s child, Dianny Binny, expanded and refined the garden. Now, Anne Chambers, Dianny's daughter, carries on the legacy. Each woman has left her mark, yet the garden remains a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation.

If you like gardens, garden history, and a dash of personal biographies, this gorgeous book is right up your alley.

Kiftsgate is a symphony of colors and textures. The bluebell wood, the clipped hedging, and the Italianate terraces create a captivating spectacle. It's a place where the exotic and the familiar dance together in perfect harmony. And as you wander through, you can feel the history seeping into your soul.

This exquisite book, Kiftsgate Court Garden, is more than just a guide. It's a love letter to a garden that has witnessed the passage of time. With her lyrical prose, Vanessa Berridge weaves a tale of passion, dedication, and the enduring beauty of nature.

So, dear reader, if you yearn for a garden that is both timeless and enchanting, I invite you to step into the pages of Kiftsgate Court Garden. It is a journey that will leave you inspired and enchanted.
