Venetian Gardens – Monty Don

For all its history and romanticism, Venice is not well known as a destination for horticultural touristsbut Monty Don is here to change that.

As lush and colorful as a summer garden, this book takes readers on a spectacular tour around Venice – across its bridges and down its canals to explore both well-known and unexpected pockets of garden delights. Starting in the heart of the city and working their way out to the Veneto, Monty and acclaimed photographer Derry Moore celebrate the beauty of these places and tell their unique stories: from a nunnery garden with a history of exotic animals to the serene terraces of the Cini Foundation; charming window boxes to surprising rooftop sanctuaries. Each site is featured in Derrys luscious photographs and Montys erudite and often deeply personal commentary.

The perfect gift for garden enthusiasts or anyone with a passion for Venice, this magnificent book is a must-have for fans across the world.
