It chronicles how, in their quest to woo the queen and outdo each other, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and William Cecil, Baron of Burghley, competed for Elizabeth's favor by laying out innovative and extravagant pleasure grounds at their palaces for when she came to visit. As she played one off against the other, they created gorgeous palaces and landscapes that amazed the world. The book also describes how others in England and abroad followed Dudley's and Cecil's leads and how the queen's love of plants made gardeners of courtiers, statesmen, and soldiers. This meticulously researched account reveals how Elizabeth's enthusiasm for horticulture changed the world, encouraging gardeners and designers to create landscapes inspired by the spirit of the Elizabethan garden.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 635.0942 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 635.0942 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 635.0942 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
