Description:When Joseph Paxton was made Head Gardener at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire by the 6th Duke of Devonshire, little did anyone know that he would become the most visionary and influential landscape architect of his time. From his astonishing fountains and waterfalls to his incredible glasshouses and rock gardens, Paxton was a trailblazer. He designed some of the earliest public parks and would eventually become the architect of the Crystal Palace. For the first time in concise form, this guide brings together the stories behind 12 of his greatest garden features at Chatsworth and explains the horticultural, engineering and design thinking behind them.

It follows Paxton’s remarkable journey from humble beginnings to his place in horticultural and design history – a story that could only have happened at the dawn of Victorian Britain.
