A sumptuous collection of Paul Bangay's contemporary yet timeless gardens. Paul Bangay is a landscape designer who relishes the challenge of working at scale. He creates gardens that feel as though they've been there forever. They emerge from the countryside, with borrowed landscapes and dramatic views as key elements. Within each design, Paul makes spaces that bring different experiences of the garden. Large sweeping lawns, magnificent soaring trees and numerous, deep garden beds. An allée of trees directs the eye to mountains in the distance. Outdoor dining areas offer intimate vantage points within the broader scale. From grand gardens in France to a forest grown from seedlings, join Paul on this tour de force of projects complete with lakes, mountains and walled gardens. Paul shares the design process, as well as garden plans and extensive planting lists, while Simon Griffiths' photography captures the sublime form and light of these generous landscapes. Big Garden Design documents the principles of landscape design from the most precise detail to the grandest vista.
