About the Book

'The Secret Gardeners is a WONDERFUL book. Just beautiful. It will live, page open, on my coffee table.' – Prue Leith The Secret Gardeners features the private gardens of more than 25 well-known figures from across British culture, including actors, artists, writers, designers and aristocrats. Through intimate interviews and over 300 photographs, it offers a rare look at the outdoor spaces where creativity, comfort and personal expression take root. This updated edition includes four new gardens, including those of Prue Leith, Dominic West and Catherine FitzGerald and Jeremy Clarkson. Returning names include Julian Fellowes, Cath Kidston, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jeremy Irons. Each chapter reveals what gardening means to its owner, how their space reflects their personality, and why these green sanctuaries matter so deeply. Photographed by Hugo Rittson-Thomas and written with warmth and insight by Victoria Summerley, this is a book that celebrates the joy of gardening, the importance of private space and the stories that grow behind the garden walls. The Secret Gardeners is the perfect book for anyone who loves gardens and wants to get inside the head of the people who create and care for them.
