GARDEN DESIGN MASTER CLASS Edited by Carl Dellatore (Rizzoli £45)

Gardening, along with baking sourdough bread and binge-watching Normal People, has been a staple lockdown activity. 

This handy book collates 100 essays from some of the best garden designers of our day, touching on everything from insects to sculpture. According to landscape designer Jinny Blom, a typical English garden, such as the one above, is characterised by ‘a subtle balance of structure and disorder’.
