‘Topiary, Knots & Parterres’ – Great Reviews
Since its launch on the 8th June, Caroline Foley’s brilliant book ‘Topiary, Knots & Parterres’, printed by Pimpernel Press in association with EBTS UK, has been available from all good book shops and the reviews are now coming in:
“The result of her (Caroline Foley’s) labour is a magnificent hardback comprising authoritative text matched with excellent, well-researched illustrations. It offers inspiration to seek out as many fine examples of topiary in this country and across Europe as well as encouragement to emulate something of the great and varied gardens in smaller settings.”
The English Garden, June 2017“Required reading.”
“Pimpernel Press has carved a niche as the garden library building publisher…An essential addition is Topiary, Knots and Parterres.”
Kendra Wilson, Gardenista, June 15th 2017“Topiary has a long history, exhaustively explored in this book…The illustrations are superb. Every page brings a new wonder.”
Anna Pavord, House and Garden, July, 2017“Caroline Foley brings together its history and demonstrates that this most ancient of traditions is alive and kicking, refreshed and reinterpreted by contemporary garden and landscape designers to look as relevant today as it was to the Romans. You will be reaching for those shears.”
Sunday Times, 9th July 2017“This carefully researched and entertaining book will be valuable not only to gardeners and those with an interest in garden development and history it will also provide an excellent research book for students of horticulture and landscape as it is the first book to cover the entire history of this subject from the Romans to Jacques Wirtz and Tom Stuart-Smith.”
