O autorze

The Royal Horticultural Society, founded in 1804 as the Horticultural Society of London, is the UK's leading gardening charity. The RHS promotes horticulture through its five gardens at Wisley (Surrey), Hyde Hall (Essex), Harlow Carr (Yorkshire), Rosemoor (Devon) and Bridgewater (Greater Manchester); flower shows including the Chelsea Flower Show, Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, Tatton Park Flower Show and Cardiff Flower Show; community gardening schemes; Britain in Bloom and a vast educational programme. It also supports training for professional and amateur gardeners. Phil McCann has written many gardening books and authored features for most gardening journals as well as provided horticultural content for websites. He has had the privilege of observing the progress of RHS Garden Bridgewater from day one. While filming for The Great Northern Garden Build series for BBC2 and detailing events for this book, Phil has seen the garden updated from its previous glory to the breathtaking spectacle it is today.
