Books on Sunday: Buckingham Palace: A Royal Garden

Buckingham Palace is without no doubt one of the most iconic buildings of London
and the symbol of the British monarchy. 

This book is not about the palace itself or the events that happened there but it's, what
me interested the most: its gardens. 

Normally it's hidden from sight as it is The Queen's private Londen garden. However
the garden also fulfils many roles. Every summer it welcomes thousands of guests for
the famous Garden Parties. 

Buckinham Palace - A Royal Garden is a wonderful book from the Royal Collection 
Trust and written by Claire Masset. 





The book


The book features wonderful pictures and fatastic ideas to implement at your garden
or balcony at home. 

The chapters are devided in the seasons of the year: spring, summer, autumn and 
of course winter with lots of fantastic hints.

It also tells about the history of Buckingham Palace: A Royal Garden, when 
King George III and Queen Charlotte turned parts of the garden to pasture. 
And it reveals which garden favourites other King and Queens of England and
the United Kingdom had. 


To conclude


Buckingham Palace: A Royal Garden is an excellent book with fantastic ideas and
knowledges. It is an ideal way to spend some time on a rainy afternoon.
