Klappentext Derek Jarman's own record of how he created a strange and eerily beautiful garden on the bleak shingle banks in the shadow of Dungeness power station. The illustrations are highly atmospheric photographs by Howard Sooley, Jarman's photographer, and show the garden from all angles and during every season of the year, revealing its intricate geometric plan. 100 colour, 70 b/w photos. Zusammenfassung Derek Jarman's garden is in the flat expanse of shingle that faces the nuclear power station in Dungeness, Kent. He mixed the flint, shells and driftwood of Dungeness with indigenous and introduced plants. This book is his own record of how this garden evolved, from its beginnings in 1985.
