Summary: Great idea, horrible execution
Comment: If you are interested in seeing Wordsworth's Gardens for ideas and inspiration, you had better look elsewhere. The photography in this book is outlandishly horrible. Over half of the full-page photographs are out of focus. Some photos are sickly blue, making the legendary daffodils look sad. The idea of this book is wonderful and the plans the author includes are very worthwhile, but it begs for a photographer.

Summary: For all William Wordsworth enthusiasts and gardening buffs
Comment: Anyone who has studies the writings and William Wordsworth is aware of the poet's admiration and enjoyment for gardens and gardening. In Wordsworth's Gardens, Carole Buchanan showcases Wordsworth's perspectives on the gardens and on the Lake District that shaped his perceptions and attitudes. Included are three previously unpublished garden plans. The informative text is wonderfully enhanced with more than a hundred splendid photographs by Richard Buchanan. Wordsworth's Gardens is further enhanced with a "Portfolio of Lake District Scenes"; and appendices: "Wordsworth's Gardens in His Poetry"; "The Plants"; "Description of the Garden by Christopher Wordsworth, Jr."; Rhododendrons introduced into British Cultivation"; as well as an extensive "Notes" section, a bibliography and an exhaustive six page index. Wordsworth's Gardens is very highly recommended for all William Wordsworth enthusiasts and gardening buffs.
