“This unique, multilayered book focuses on the creation of gardens that reflect the mystery and magic of medieval landscapes.  Each chapter is based on a theme of significance in the medieval world and begins with an engaging historical overview and discussion of society, culture, religion and mythology.  In a Unicorn’s Garden includes extensive medieval plant lists, beautiful location photography, interviews with mater gardeners, and visits to monastic and secular medieval-style gardens.  The book also features individual medieval-inspired garden designs which can be recreated in the average suburban garden plot.”
