Lost Gardens Of Heligan (Updated edition)

Tim Smit takes you through the feelings they had when they discovered it bit by bit sometimes coming across hidden parts of the garden even falling into one down what was the waterfall in the old rockery.

Gradually after hours of breakbreaking work the garden is uncovered and restored into a wondrous place.

Once you have read this book you will be inspired into visiting Heligan to see for yourself what it is like and I can say you will not be disappointed.

Being a visitor to the lost gardens for the last five years, i have seen first hand the fantastic work that Tim Smit and his team have achieved. This Book has lots of colour photographs and maps showing what it was like when they discovered the gardens to the present day. It is a must for any keen gardener who enjoys a bit of history aswell. I shall be going to Heligan again in June 2001, when i am on holiday in cornwall, and will write another review on my return. There is also a video available which was produced by Channel 4. You can spend all day in these gardens, i particulary like the jungle where you feel the humidity change the deeper you go. I thoroughly recomend all books and videos in this range.
