This first book in the Exterior Angles series showcases 29 stylish, fashionable gardens from around the UK (and one garden from France), which have been designed for wealthy clients with children in mind. It includes gardens by highly sought-after, contemporary designers such as Joe Swift, Christopher Bradley-Hole, Andy Sturgeon and Cleve West, who create modern, architecturaly-meaningful, outside dwelling and being spaces. For each garden, newly commissioned photography by Juliette Wade is used to show the detail and the overall layout of the garden, as well as giving textual information on how the garden was created. Break-out boxes feature throughout the book to highlight particularly interesting features and plants from each garden. At the back of the book there is a section covering suppliers, resources and a plant directory.
