Thank you, Frances Lincoln, for the ARC.

The book is highly informative regarding some of the best known gardens of the world including Las Pozas in Mexico, the Garden of dreams in Nepal and some more!

You will be surprised and shocked at the same time reading about these gardens as I am right now.

The illustrations are well done and the descriptions well written.

However, I felt that the illustrations are a bit repetitive otherwise.

Regardless, the book delivers!

Anyone who's interested in gardening will want to read this book. The stories have a "Gardeners World" type feeling as I read them and just made me feel cozy and like I was being brought along a tour of forgotten hidden gems in the world.

Certainly a niche book; a good one. If you are interested in lost cultural artefacts, lost treasures of nature and especially lost gardens, oases and edens in the world like me, you will enjoy this book.

The illustrations and the design are amazing.
