Head Gardeners by Ambra Edwards - photographs by Charlie Hopkinson
This is a gem about the unsung heroes of gardens ranging from the likes of Sissinghurst to the rooftop of the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London. Fourteen personal profiles offer differing insights into each gardener and the variety of roles he/she may undertake from artist, project manager, conservationist to social worker. You get a real sense of the healing power of plants and trees and of the gruelling work involved in a garden's upkeep.
