Paradise Through the Seasons: A year in the life of Trotts garden.

Paradise Through the Seasons: A Year in the Life of Trotts
Garden is a unique book, beautifully illustrated with
over 330 photographs of the Trott garden as it develops
through each season of a year.
Originally a 4-hectare block of bare land with an
old house, horse stable and thirteen trees, the Trott’s
Ashburton property was a blank canvas on which Alan
could fulfill his dreams. His work has earned the property
the title A Garden of International Significance, which is
graded by the New Zealand Gardens Trust.
In this, his second book, Alan guides us through the
unique attributes of each season as it plays out in the
Woodland Garden, the Red Garden, the Pond and Damp
Garden, the Formal Garden – comprising knot gardens
that have been described as some of the most sensational
in the world – the Border Garden and, finally, the
Brantwood Chapel.
From an elegantly snow-dusted winter wonderland
through to the splendidly bold foliage of the Red Garden
that Alan is renowned for, this year-long portrayal of a
spectacular garden is both enchanting and instructive.
The plant portraits and stunning vistas, all
photographed by Alan, show the beauty of the garden
through each of the four seasons.
