To create a garden that gives pleasure throughout the year is the goal of every garden-maker. The greatest designers maintain that it is the garden in winter that sets the scene for the remainder of the year. Designing and Creating a Winter Garden takes the reader through the process of designing a new garden from scratch or re-working an existing garden, with winter as the key, formative season. The first part of the book deals with design considerations and ideas, including: assessing the site and its opportunities and constraints; designing the basic framework for winter; making use of low, winter light and using sparkling colour; pots, containers and statuary in the garden, and finally the maintenance of the garden in winter. The second part comprises a detailed catalogue of suggested plants and their uses, grouped into: evergreens; winter-flowering trees, shrubs and perennials, including those that are strongly scented; shrubs with coloured and textured bark and finally, unusual, striking plants to use as focal points. This book sets out to inspire both garden designers and enthusiastic gardeners to create a garden that is as captivating in winter as it is during the remainder of the year.

Inspirándose en la restauración de su propio jardín, Olivia Laing se embarca en una estimulante investigación del paraíso. En 2020, comenzó a restaurar un jardín amurallado del siglo XVIII en Suffolk, un eden cubierto de plantas insolitas. Este ensayo saca a la luz una cuestion crucial para nuestra epoca: ¿quien puede vivir en el paraiso y como podemos compartirlo mientras aun estemos a tiempo? Moviendose entre jardines reales e imaginarios, desde El paraiso perdido de Milton hasta las elegias sobre los cercamientos de John Clare, desde un santuario en tiempos de guerra en Italia hasta un grotesco campo de recreo aristocratico financiado por la esclavitud, Laing cuestiona el coste, en ocasiones escandaloso, de construir el paraiso en la tierra. Pero la historia del jardin no siempre representa modelos de privilegio y exclusion. Tambien es escenario de avanzadillas rebeldes y sueños comunitarios. Desde la utopia queer conjurada por Derek Jarman en la playa de Dungeness hasta la fertil vision de un Eden comun soñada por William Morris, entre los parterres de flores se han intentado nuevos modos de vida, experimentos que podrian resultar vitales en la proxima era del cambio climatico. El resultado es un relato bello y exigente de los abundantes placeres y posibilidades de los jardines: no como un lugar donde esconderse del mundo, sino como un sitio de encuentro y descubrimiento.
