London has museum exhibits about gardens and gardening in the Ancient world; archaeological remains of Roman gardens and medieval gardens; good examples of Renaissance gardens, Baroque gardens, Neoclassical gardens, Romantic gardens, Arts and Crafts gardens, Abstract Modern gardens and Postmodern gardens. London garden design is discussed in the art-historical categories used by art historians and architectural historians and also in stylistic categories. In London, the best represented garden history design styles are: the Augustan Style, the Serpentine Landscape Style, the Picturesque Style, the Gardenesque Style and the Arts and Crafts Styles of garden design. The Chelsea Flower Show and Chelsea Fringe Festival, held in May each year, are great place to see recent trends in the history of garden design, including the Abstract Modern and Postmodern Styles of garden design.
The video has clips of Chelsea designs by David Cubero, James Wong, Paul Hervey Brookes, Dairmuid Gavin, NIPpaysage, Petra Horackova, Caroline Comber, Tom Hoblyn, Laurie Chetwood, Patrick Collins, Robert Myers, Andy Sturgeon, Marcus Barnett, Jim Fogarty, Sarah Eberle, Nigel Dunnett. The script is by Tom Turner, author of books on the garden history, philosophy and design of Asian Gardens, European Gardens and British Gardens. Many of the places mentioned in the video are further described in the London Gardens Walk (a Kindle eBook published in 2012 and available from Amazon ASIN: B007L110K0).
