Description

Guy Cooper and Gordon Taylor, garden designers extraordinaire, are the horticultural equivalent of the Two Fat Ladies and will present a peak-time series about garden design for the BBC starting in April 2001. New to television, and also of a certain age , they have been driving in a beautiful 1960s Alvis sports car around the gardens of Britain - the traditional, the eccentric and the contemporary - and talking in their informed, entertaining, cantankerous and very funny way about the unusual and interesting elements of design they have found. Passionate about gardens and outspoken in their views, Gordon and Guy bring a new perspective to garden programmes which comes through vividly in their book.
