Rescue of a Garden: Restoring a lost garden to Brundall, by Janet Muter
This lovely book describes the history and restoration of a beautiful garden at Lake House, Brundall, by Janet Muter.
In 1881 Dr Michael Beverley bought an area of land with a mere, known locally as Little Switzerland because of its wooded slopes. Then began many years of dedicated work to transform it into a magnificent garden, visited and admired by thousands of people. In1919 Frederick Holmes Cooper, a cinema magnate, bought the gardens, which continued to thrive.
Times changed, and houses were built on the land - but in the 1980s Janet Muter and her husband bought a new home there, and acquired part of the garden with trees and water features. Much restoration was required, and many people have enjoyed the garden, which has been opened under the National Gardens Scheme. This is Janet's story of her epic project.
£8.50 plus postage (a reduction from the original price).
