not know what was planted in the flower gardens. Inevitably, the structure of the book means that there is some repetition, but many readers will focus on particular chapters of this book that reflect their interest. This book is rich in detail, well written and clearly illustrated. It will become invaluable reading for anyone interested in the history of Alnwick Castle, walled and kitchen gardens and the evolution of hothouse design and technologies from the mideighteenth century to the present day. It will also be of interest to archaeologists, historical geographers and landscape historians who are concerned with designed landscapes from the mid-eighteenth century to the present or relations between an estate and its village, town and region.

威廉·劳埃德·霍尔登的日记，1829 年和 1830 年

不知道花园里种了什么。不可避免地，本书的结构意味着有一些重复，但许多读者会关注本书中反映他们兴趣的特定章节。这本书内容丰富，文笔流畅，图文并茂。对于对阿尼克城堡的历史、围墙花园和厨房花园以及从 18 世纪中叶到现在的温室设计和技术的演变感兴趣的人来说，这本书将成为非常有价值的读物。考古学家、历史地理学家和景观历史学家也将对此感兴趣，他们关注从 18 世纪中叶到现在的设计景观或庄园与其村庄、城镇和地区之间的关系。
