The Book of Garden Flowers
Garden flowers carry histories as well as colour. Christopher Stocks explores nineteen familiar and unusual plants, tracing the people, journeys and customs that helped bring them into British gardens. Angie Lewin’s paintings and illustrations accompany the stories, giving the book its own distinctive visual character.
Across 152 pages, botanical interest meets social history and an artist’s pleasure in the shapes of stems, leaves and flower heads. The result is a lively companion for readers who enjoy floral art and the stories behind cultivated plants. This contemporary illustrated book broadens our historical art selection with nature-inspired work by a practising painter and printmaker; it is not a monograph on an Old Master.
