Derek Jarman's Garden

Derek Jarman’s Garden: 30th Anniversary Edition
Derek Jarman, Howard Sooley (photographer), Jamaica Kincaid (Foreword)
Hardcover, 148 pages

Derek Jarman, a passionate gardener from childhood, combined his painter's eye, horticultural expertise, and ecological convictions to produce a landscape that combined flints, shells, and driftwood to create a unique paradise. This book is Derek Jarman's own record of how this garden evolved, from its earliest beginnings in 1986 to 1994, the last year of his life.

More than 150 photographs taken by his friend and photographer Howard Sooley capture the garden at all its different stages at every season. For both gardeners and admirers of this extraordinary man, this 30th anniversary edition, with a foreword by Jamaica Kincaid, marks three decades of the book as a gardening classic, and the ongoing impact of Jarman's transformative garden - proof of the garden space as one of ideas, philosophy, and myth - more than just a place of retreat.
