The Story of the Privy Garden at Hampton Court

For well over 200 years the outlines of King William’s private garden at Hampton Court lay in secret under the soil. Today, after pioneering archaeology and discoveries in the archives, an ambitious garden reconstruction has brought the ensemble back to view. The authors of this work have been closely involved with the project from the very beginning. They give a full account of the remaking of the garden, revealing the thinking behind it and the mechanics of the vast operation of planting.
