After a foreword by John Brookes himself and a brief introduction, The Story of John Brookes reveals all the influences that have come to bear on John's work plotting the major stages of his career. The chapter plots his growth as a garden designer, from his apprenticeship with the Nottingham Corporation Parks Department in 1954, through his work with Brenda Colvin and Sylvia Crowe in the late 1950s and early 1960s, and his setting up of his own garden and landscape design practice. His first successes in London town gardens in the 1960s are charted, as well as his key designs and educational achievements around the globe throughout his career, right up to his current position as the doyen of contemporary garden designers. The second chapter provides a fascinating insight into John Brookes' garden and landscape design work, by analysing 18 of his most significant designs and their execution. Written after extensive research, Barbara Simms summarises the history of each commission, the challenges John Brookes faced, and describes his design approach in meeting the brief. Some of John's original design sketches are reproduced and contemporary and recent photographs capture the development of each garden.

John Brookes brings to this definitive guide the culmination of his 40 years' experience. Here he explores and explains the principles of garden design, bringing to these richly illustrated pages the same enthusiasm and expertise that have made his courses on garden design at Denmans (his renowned garden and design school in West Sussex) and at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew in England, so popular with students from all over the world. Each lavishly illustrated chapter is devoted to single design elements such as Shape, Surface, Structure, or Water which, in combination, create a well-constructed garden. Under these headings John Brookes presents an incredible range of inspiring ideas using his inimitable conversational writing style, a host of extraordinary photographs, and annotated sketches and diagrams. There is no doubt that Garden Masterclass will become the seminal work on garden knowledge from our most celebrated of garden designers.
