Sponsored by The Last Garden in England, the new book from Julia Kelly, author of The Light Over London.
Three eras. Five women. One remarkable garden unites them all.
Emma Lovett has been given the opportunity of a lifetime: to restore the gardens of the famed Highbury House estate, designed in 1907 by her hero Venetia Smith. But as Emma dives deeper into the gardens’ past, she begins to uncover secrets that have long lain hidden. From its turn-of-the-century origins as a grand estate with a treasured and historic garden, through its time as a WWII convalescent hospital, to its present-day disrepair, Highbury House reveals its secrets only to the women who need to hear them most.
