The Essentials of Garden Design
John Brookes’s design courses, which were run from his own garden in Sussex, England, as well as in the South of France and Japan, and his collaboration with the Royal Botanic Gardens have helped to produce a generation of new garden designers. His extensive portfolio includes traditional English gardens, private gardens in the United States and Japan, and the English Walled Garden at the Chicago Botanic Garden. He has won numerous awards throughout his career, including four Gold Medals at the Royal Horticultural Society’s Chelsea Flower Show, and he is a member of the Order of the British Empire for his services to horticulture in the United Kingdom and overseas.
