Gardens of Northumberland and the Borders

Susie's new book 'Gardens of Northumberland and the Borders' is the first to gather together some of the best gardens in this beautiful and varied region. Her evocative and informative text is accompanied by the stunning and atmospheric photographs of Simon Fraser with whom she has previously collaborated in articles for gardening magazines.

From the romantic castles of Chillingham and Lindisfarne to the dramatic quarry gardens of Belsay and Blagdon, from the grand parterres of Manderston to the herbs at Chesters and from the thought-provoking artworks at Little Sparta to the flamboyant cascades at Alnwick Garden, there is something for every type of gardener.
