Book Description
This is a classic memoir by one of the most famous landscape gardeners of the 20th century which describes the
author
s training and the development of his many celebrated gardens. Russell Page was born in 1906 and studied art at
the Slade School in London before a love of plants drew him to garden design. In his career he designed gardens
all over the world, from Leeds Castle in Kent to the Donald M. Kendall Sculpture Garden at the Pepsi Cola Headquarters
in New York, as well as in France, his home for many years. The Education of a Gardener is a fascinating
portrait of a master of his craft and has proved an inspirational book for many gardeners since its first publication
in 1962. Written in clear and elegant prose, it is illustrated with a substantial number of photographs, including,
in this edition, hitherto unpublished pictures from Page
s files.
