QUEST-RITSON, CHARLES (ED.) The RHS Garden Finder 2003-2004
RHS / Ted Smart, 2003, 2nd impression.Paper covers.0 7513 6433 9.V.g./No Jacket.Useful guide to gardens in the UK open to the public.The most important gardens are given a page, the lesser ones a paragraph or two.Arranged by county, with an appendix of NCCPG National Collections and a series of quite detailed maps, this is a valuable asset to the serious garden tourist.The statement in the 'Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester' section that ""there are few historic gardens in this industrial corner of the north-west"" is inaccurate.One might also dispute the term ""corner"".We have many historic parks and gardens, albeit fewer known to the Home Counties cognoscenti who make up a depressingly large fraction of the RHS's membership.Some, like Stonyhurst, are only open for a short period in the year (as indeed is Keukenhof).Furthermore, any guide that fails to mention the incomparable Birkenhead Park (Grade 1 listed) is sadly misguided.511 pp. In English.
