À propos de cet audio

 Garden expert Nigel Thistledown, traces the fascinating evolution of British gardens from Roman times to the present day. Wearing his signature ivy-covered tweed jacket and speaking in a delightfully cheeky tone, Nigel guides readers through the historical rivalry between formal and informal garden styles, highlighting key figures like Capability Brown and Gertrude Jekyll. He weaves historical facts with personal anecdotes, including tales of his own garden adventures and an impromptu "garden-off" between his neighbors - Mrs. Pembroke (champion of formal gardens) and Mr. Fitzgerald (advocate of wild spaces). The piece is peppered with British humor and whimsical asides, including Nigel's conversations with his plants and his opinions on everything from medieval monks' herb gardens to modern sustainability trends.
