Wild Visitors to a Cotswold Garden

Description:

First edition. Photographs by the author. This book predates the modern wildlife gardening movement and represents one of the earlier English garden natural history works that observed wildlife within the context of a garden rather than in the broader countryside. At a time when formal gardening styles were common, this book reflects an early recognition of the garden as a habitat, not just a decorative space.
